    Policy leadership and accountability

    We drive policy change to advance public health, address inequities, and empower lives free from the physical, mental, and financial toll of nicotine dependence. 

    We protect the public from a lifetime of nicotine addiction by advancing impactful policies. Through rigorous research and policy leadership, we act to reduce youth access to nicotine and expand access to cessation by combating the illegal e-cigarette market, removing youth-appealing flavored products, holding retailers accountable, and increasing access to cessation services.
