    30 years ago, Congress passed my landmark legislation to ban smoking on commercial airline flights. It’s almost impossible to imagine such a thing was ever allowed. But that is only because, in many ways, this legislation marked the start of a smoke-free movement in the U.S.

        We have come a long way in the last 30 years—smoking has been banned from public buildings, schools, hospitals, and restaurants. But today, Big Tobacco is pushing kid-friendly e-cigarettes in an attempt to hook a new generation on nicotine. We can’t let that happen.

        I’m disappointed that Pres. Trump’s promised e-cig flavor ban never materialized. In the last 2 years of his Presidency, we've seen an 135% increase in the number of kids using e-cigs, with 5 million kids now vaping. But I won’t give up—the fight against Big Tobacco goes on.

        I remember when people smoked in hospital cafeterias.

        My mom was an elementary school teacher and I remember her smoking in her classroom. 🙄

        You know what the biggest problem with this tweet is? The fact that 30 years later, you're still in Congress. You epitomize everything wrong with The Swamp: career politician, greed, corruption... We've had enough. We need #termlimits. #ILSen #Twill
