ASH's Mission Statement, Goals, and Mottos

  Action on Smoking and Health (ASH) is a national legal-action organization solely devoted to the many problems of smoking. 
For more than 36 years ASH has served as the legal-action arm of the antismoking community.

  ASH's mission is to:

* protect nonsmokers from the clearly-established dangers of secondhand tobacco smoke;

*  reduce the deadly toll of smoking by banning the advertising and promotion of cigarettes, and by keeping them out of the hands of children;

*  force those who use or profit from tobacco to pay the enormous costs of smoking which are now borne largely by nonsmokers;

*  end all government support of the tobacco industry;

*  serve as a clearinghouse of information and ideas for all people concerned about smoking, both here and abroad.
