Topeka- House Resolution 6026 was debated by the Federal State Affairs Committee of the Kansas House on Tuesday. The resolution would require the Kansas Department of Health and Education to study tobacco harm reduction. The maker of one of the largest tobacco companies, R.J. Reynolds, is encouraging the state based study and told the Huffington Post that the company has scientific evidence that chewing tobacco is less harmful than cigarettes.
Those who oppose the resolution say it promotes tobacco usage by the state. An American Cancer Society spokesperson also told the Huffington Post that the state doesn’t need to encourage people to trade one carcinogen for another. The committee will discuss the issue further on Wednesday.
