Tobacco-Free Communities

More than 20 million Americans have died from smoking since the first Surgeon General’s Report on Smoking and Health was issued in 1964. 5.6 million children alive today will ultimately die early from smoking if we don’t do more to reduce current smoking rates. Read more here.

If you’d like to work on tobacco or smoke-free policy, contact Alissa Wigglesworth at AWiggleswo@smhc.org

Choose To Be Healthy has a banner that community organizations, businesses, municipalities or interested others can borrow to promote tobacco-free events. Contact us here.
