*A brief overview*

Every year for Take Down Tobacco National Day of Action (formerly Kick Butts Day), youth advocates and adult allies hold hundreds of events across the country to speak out against the tobacco industry. We rally, we educate our peers, we talk to legislators and more – and we take one huge step closer to creating the first tobacco-free generation.

Once again this year, we'll expose Big Tobacco for who they really are: jokers who gamble with people’s lives.

The stakes couldn’t be higher. Big Tobacco is running new PR campaigns claiming they’re the good guys! They say they’ve reformed, that they’re "beyond smoking," and that they want a "smoke-free world."

But it’s the same lie they’ve been telling for decades.

They aggressively market deadly cigarettes while raking in billions of dollars in profits. They fight policies that would actually reduce tobacco use. They constantly develop new products to hook kids. In a nutshell, they continue to lie, cheat, and fool people into a lifetime of addiction, disease and death.

We’re not fooled. Let’s go all in – and take down these jokers once and for all!
