As WV ranks #1 in tobacco use and #1 in tobacco-related deaths in the Nation, we are currently focusing on tobacco control issues.

As lawmakers dive into the 2026 legislative session, the American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network (ACS CAN) urges legislators to prioritize passing legislation to ease the burden of cancer on West Virginians.
