Want to help reduce smoking rates, which will in turn reduce deaths from cancer
and other major diseases? The American Cancer Society advocates for several
tobacco-related public policies that would reduce smoking rates. These include
higher cigarette taxes, investments in state tobacco prevention and cessation
programs, and smoke-free laws.
These three public policy changes have proven in other states and nations to be
absolutely the most effective thing that can be done to save lives lost to
tobacco-caused illness. We need advocates who will call, write, and/or visit their
elected officials about these public policies.
Participate with other concerned people through the
American Cancer Society's Cancer Action Network and we’ll let you know how and
when your help would be most effective.
