The resolution establishes the Youth Tobacco and Nicotine Cessation Task Force in Louisiana to investigate the effects of nicotine use among individuals under the age of twenty-one. This initiative responds to the growing public health concern regarding the increasing prevalence of nicotine products, including e-cigarettes, among youth. The task force will focus on understanding the health risks associated with early nicotine exposure, identifying usage trends, and exploring effective prevention and cessation strategies tailored to Louisiana's youth. It will also consider regulatory approaches that balance public health needs with the rights of responsible businesses and adult users.

The task force will be composed of representatives from various health and educational organizations, including the Louisiana Department of Health, the Louisiana State Superintendent of Education, and several health advocacy groups. It will review existing research on youth tobacco and nicotine use, including the impacts on health and behavior, and will evaluate successful prevention and cessation programs from other states. The task force is tasked with reporting its findings and recommendations, including any proposed legislation, to the House Committee on Health and Welfare by January 1, 2026.
