Raise your hand for a healthy school year

The overwhelming majority of adult smokers begin smoking before age 18, and many are addicted before they even finish high school. The American Lung Association is committed to helping students breathe easier as the new school year begins. That means working to END the youth vaping epidemic.

Donate to help reach our $20,000 Back-to-School goal and help fund our nationwide efforts to prevent students from starting a lifelong dependency to tobacco.
