Quitter In You

The Quitter in You program targets smokers who have tried to quit smoking in the past. This initiative works with smokers to tackle quitting one more time. Each quit attempt brings a smoker one step closer to a smokefree life. Through community partners, media awareness and grassroots activities, the Quitter in You effort is reaching out to smokers and helping them rise to the challenge.

Smokefree Air Challenge

Launched in 2006, the American Lung Association’s Smokefree Air Challenge calls on all 50 states and the District of Columbia to pass laws prohibiting smoking in all public places and workplaces, including restaurants and bars. The country has made great progress towards meeting the Smokefree Air Challenge. Currently, 27 states and the District of Columbia have met the Smokefree Air Challenge, including Kansas in 2010. The American Lung Association will fight in 2010 and beyond to make sure everyone in all 50 states can enjoy clean, smokefree air where they work and play. You can join our fight for smokefree air by signing our Smokefree Air Challenge petition, click here.
