    Save the date: April 1, 2024

    On Take Down Tobacco National Day of Action, youth advocates across the country rally together to stand up and speak out against the tobacco industry. This is Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids’ signature day of youth advocacy.

     

    Whether you want to plan an activity with your friends, join an event in your community, or make your voice heard on social media, there are lots of ways to make your voice heard. However you decide to get involved, we encourage people of all ages to stand with kids over Big Tobacco to continue pushing toward a healthier, more equitable future.

    This year, we’re exposing Big Tobacco’s lies again and revealing who they really are: jokers who gamble with people’s lives. On April Fool’s Day, we’re raising the stakes and challenging young people to call the tobacco industry’s bluff.

     

    Help us spread the word and tell local lawmakers to stand with us. Let’s go all in and take down these jokers once and for all!
