According to studies conducted by the Centers for Disease Control, “Tobacco use is the single most preventable cause of death and disease, causing approximately 440,000 deaths annually in the United States. Smoking is a major risk factor for cancer, heart, and lung disease. For every one person who dies of a smoking-attributable disease, there are 20 more people who are suffering with at least one serious illness from smoking.”
The Coalition meets every other month from 8:30 a.m. – 10:00 a.m. Anyone interested in joining the Coalition or receiving a schedule of meetings is encouraged to call (517) 841-0611.
