End Child Labor Involved in the Manufacturing of Tobacco Products

This petition was published by Reality Check on Jan 11, 2008

We, the undersigned, are appalled by human rights abuses the tobacco industry has incurred by utilizing child labor across the world.

Children are not only made to work ruining their chances at having a childhood, but they are also suspect to beatings, despicable working conditions, and diseases acquired from working with tobacco and pesticides.

The US Federal Government should not allow the tobacco industry to take advantage of children, and the government needs to hold the industry accountable for what it does overseas, especially concerning child labor.
