Reduce Toll of Tobacco on Alaskans

If nothing is done to reduce tobacco use 14,000 Alaska kids will ultimately die prematurely. 

Alaska can and must do better.  Alaska can reduce tobacco use by investing in tobacco prevention and cessation programs.  

Everyone deserves to live tobacco-free lives in cleaner, safer, healthier communities. 

I urge Alaska lawmakers to increase funding for fact-based tobacco control programs to prevent kids from starting to use tobacco and help adults quit.
