Tobacco News

The start of 2019 has been extremely productive for ASH. We made major strides with our Global Forum in Romania, pushing to have the marketing and sale of cigarettes recognized globally as a human rights violation. We’ve worked with allies in the U.S. to strengthen our campaign to phase out the sale of cigarettes in local communities. And we’ve continued serving as a crucial resource worldwide in the fight to hold tobacco companies and their executives criminally liable for the harm they cause.

Tobacco products kill one person every 4.5 seconds. That’s 11 people a minute who need you to speak up and take action for their lives.

No one’s mother, father, sister, uncle, or friend deserves to live with a tobacco-related illness or die from their smoking addiction. Please consider making a donation today to help us end the tobacco epidemic. Together, we can build a healthier future for all of our children.
