About me: College Campuses Across the Country Are Going Smoke-free
With the 30th anniversary this November of the nationwide Great American Smokeout, the American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network (ACS CAN) is working with students across the nation in an effort to make college campuses smoke-free.
ACS CAN President Dan Smith was interviewed on CNN about smoke-free campuses and how this trend is taking off across the country. View the video here. http://www.cnn.com/2007/HEALTH/11/12/hm.smokefree.campus/#cnnSTCVideo
Unfortunately the prevalence of smoking in the United States is highest among college-age students, ages 18 to 24. While other age groups are decreasing their tobacco use, college students are smoking at a greater rate.
ACS CAN is dedicated to eliminating cancer and reducing the use of tobacco products among youth across the country. Visit our Help Fight Tobacco campaign page to see what we are doing in the fight against tobacco and how you can help.
