Honor Solomon’s memory with action on youth vaping
Solomon, a teenager who died from vaping-related illness, inspired 'Solly’s Law' in North Carolina to raise the legal age for purchasing tobacco/nicotine products to 21 and establish retailer permits. The bipartisan legislation (H430 and S318) remains stalled in the General Assembly, leaving North Carolina among six states without such protections. Solomon’s family urges lawmakers to act to prevent similar tragedies.
