Senator Hobson Comments on House Passage of HB2660

“We have taken a giant step today toward making Oklahoma a healthier place to live. We’ve got a couple more steps to take, but I’m confident that we’re going to get there.

I applaud the 66 House members who had the courage to stand up against those who would continue to put profits from tobacco above the health of current and future generations of Oklahomans.

I feel confident that tomorrow a majority of the members of the Senate will follow suit and give Oklahomans the chance to vote on this extremely important issue in November.”
