Tobacco Control
Who Will Replace Joe Camel?



Big Tobacco is at it again, marketing to teenagers with new cigarettes named Kauai Kolada, Twista Lime and Mocha Blast. But they haven't had an effective spokesperson -- or should we say "smokesperson" since they retired Joe Camel.

Watch our new flash movie to see the competition for America's Next Smokesperson.

Then tell Congress to finally regulate tobacco like it regulates hundreds of other products.

Got two cents you want to throw out on the latest marketing techniques from tobacco companies? Visit our blog.

The largest known cause of cancers in the United States is tobacco. Over 30 percent of all diagnosed cancers are due to tobacco use. ACS is committed to controlling tobacco by:
  • Fighting for laws and public programs at all levels of government, in schools and other public areas to eliminate tobacco use
  • Helping people to stop using tobacco products
  • Preventing children from using tobacco
  • Educating everyone—especially tobacco-targeted groups such as kids—about the dangers of tobacco use
  • Assisting tobacco farmers in transitioning to other crops
