(KSL News) -- Orrin Hatch is one of several US senators being asked by Tobacco Free Kids to give back campaign contributions from tobacco companies.
The Deseret morning news reports Hatch is on the group's top ten list of senators who received the most money from "big tobacco." Reports show Hatch received about 16-thousand dollars for this election cycle.
Hatch says he does not have a problem taking money from any legal group wanting to support him and he has told tobacco companies he does not support their products.
He has voted for several bills restricting tobacco.
