Rep. Grace F. Napolitano (CA-38) issued the following statement:
The Congress passed critical legislation today to protect the health of our children from the dangers of smoking. As many as 3,500 American children try their first cigarette each day and this legislation will give the U.S. Food and Drug Administration the authority to end marketing aimed at young people and to regulate the deadly, addictive chemicals in cigarettes.
This legislation will save lives, improve the health and well being of America’s children and start putting some of the $193 billion lost each year due to lost productivity and smoking related healthcare expenditures back to work for the American people.

House Passes Resolution in Support of Mental Health Month -
(Washington, DC) H. Res. 437, supporting the goal and ideals of Mental Health Month, was passed by the House today by a voice vote. Congresswoman Grace F. Napolitano (CA-38) introduced this resolution to draw attention to the problems caused by untreated mental illnesses.
Rep. Napolitano issued the following statement:
Recognizing May as National Mental Health Month will give this critical issue the attention it deserves and help to erase the stigma surrounding mental illness. The U.S. Surgeon General estimates that more than 57 million Americans suffer from mental illness and the National Institute of Mental Health reports that mental health issues cost the nation more than $192 billion per year in lost earnings. This is a problem that is getting worse, not better. We must work together to remove the stigma so that our loved ones can get the assistance they need when they need it most. National Mental Health Month will increase understanding and awareness of this issue so that we can help all Americans to lead healthy and productive lives.

Rep. Napolitano is co-chair of the Congressional Mental Health Caucus.
