Cicilline, Durbin Announce Introduction of Bill to Ban Child Labor on Tobacco Farms

U.S. Congressman David N. Cicilline (RI-01) and U.S. Senator Dick Durbin (D-IL) today announced the introduction of legislation to protect child workers from the dangers of exposure to tobacco plants, including nicotine poisoning.
