Is tobacco smoke drifting into
your apartment or condo?
ASH can help protect you from drifting secondhand smoke. ASH provides simple steps and legal precedents to protect you from secondhand tobacco smoke. You don't have to put up with a smoking neighbor: learn more!



Are tobacco class action
lawsuits still possible?
Tobacco class action lawsuits are still going on! Yes! Class action lawsuits against the tobacco industry have the potential to win billions of dollars for both smokers and nonsmokers! Let ASH answer your questions.




Separated or divorced from an ex
who smoked around your child?
If you're in a custody battle with a smoking ex, look here for answers. Parental smoking endangers your child's health. Fight back! Learn how to protect your son or daughter, and maybe even gain custody. Courts have ruled in nonsmokers' favor repeatedly, often with ASH's help.




Heard about e-cigarettes
but don't know what to do?
Help ASH get electronic cigarettes regulated. Learn more about about how these toxic devices are breaking into nonsmoking sections and how you can help ASH take action to protect your rights.

About ASH

Action on Smoking and Health, founded in 1967, is the nation's first, oldest, and largest antismoking organization, and the only one which regularly takes hard-hitting legal and other actions to fight smoking and to protect the rights of nonsmokers.

ASH's actions have helped prohibit cigarette commercials; ban smoking on planes, buses, and many public places; lower insurance premiums for nonsmokers and continues to adapt to new and changing threats to nonsmokers' rights.

ASH is entirely supported by tax-deductible contributions from people like you concerned about smoking and protecting the rights of nonsmokers. Please consider making a contribution to help ASH continue its 43 year history of protecting your rights and saving lives.
