"Starting today, VA health care facilities will finally be smoke-free under a new VA directive. While this is important progress, Congress still must pass my bipartisan, bicameral bill with @SenatorCollins, @RepBradWenstrup, and @RepKathleenRice to codify this policy into law."
"The vast majority of veterans enrolled in the VA health care system are non-smokers. Our bill would ensure that patients at VA facilities -- as well as visitors and employees -- are protected from the deadly consequences of tobacco use and secondhand smoke."
"This is about saving the lives of America's heroes. You can read more about our bill, and the more than two dozen medical and public health organizations that support it, here:"
