- The general assembly finds that:
- The use of cigarettes, tobacco products, or nicotine products creates dangerous risks to the health of the people of the state of Colorado;
- Studies have shown that most people who use cigarettes, tobacco products, or nicotine products started using them before the age of eighteen; and
- The costs of health care for persons suffering from diseases caused by the use of cigarettes, tobacco products, or nicotine products are borne by all people of the state of Colorado.
- The general assembly also recognizes that federal regulations now require states, through designated state agencies, to develop programs to reduce the use of cigarettes, tobacco products, or nicotine products by minors as demonstrated by random inspection of businesses that sell cigarettes, tobacco products, or nicotine products at retail.
