About us
Our non-profit organization is focused on preventing lung cancer and lung disease, improving the air we breathe, reducing the burden of lung disease on individuals and their families, and eliminating tobacco use and tobacco-related diseases. For over 115 years, we have led the fight for healthy lungs and clean air. Today, our mission to help all Americans breathe easier is more important than ever.
