We are the American Cancer Society, American Lung Association of California, American Heart Association, California Hospital Association, emergency room doctors and nurses, community clinics and health centers, among many others.

We're sponsoring Proposition 86 because it will reduce teen smoking, save lives and help offset the costs all of us are now paying for smoking-related illnesses.

The tobacco industry will do, say and spend anything to defeat this initiative. That's why we need your help to pass Proposition 86.
