Today marks our sister organization Americans for Nonsmokers' Rights 48th birthday and our annual Day of Breathing! This is a day to remember the importance of clean air where we work, live and play – something that our work reminds us not everyone has the privilege of enjoying. That’s why we’re continuing to fight every day to change that. We know the dangers of secondhand smoke, and the movement to change laws since 1976 has only grown and expanded to become a broad, diverse coalition in states across the country. You can help improve the lives of the 58 million people still exposed to secondhand smoke. You can help by wearing blue and by donating! https://no-smoke.salsalabs.org/db24-f/index.html
