American Heart Association

The American Heart Association is a leading force for a world of longer, healthier lives. With nearly a century of lifesaving work, the Dallas-based association is dedicated to ensuring equitable health for all. We are a trustworthy source empowering people to improve their heart health, brain health and well-being. We collaborate with numerous organizations and millions of volunteers to fund innovative research, advocate for stronger public health policies and share lifesaving resources and information. To help combat the tremendous toll tobacco use and nicotine addiction have on our country, we support policies such as providing adequate funding for tobacco cessation and prevention programs, eliminating flavors in tobacco and nicotine products, implementing or increasing tobacco taxes, expanding smoke-free air laws, raising the minimum purchase age, and ensuring strong government oversight of the manufacturing and marketing of all tobacco products. These policies can lead to significant reductions in tobacco use and result in health and economic benefits.
