Did you know that nearly 400,000 people in the U.S. are living with lung cancer? This number should not be this high. No one should have to experience lung cancer.

December is Founder's Month! BREATHE began its lifesaving work helping to combat tuberculosis in 1917. Today we work with local youth to eliminate tobacco’s influence in our communities.

We are excited to announce that the Breathe Youth Fest, formerly known as the Breathe Youth Media Awards will be held on January 27th from 6-8pm at the Mack Powell Event Center! This is a FREE event for 6th-12th graders in Sacramento County. Register today at the link in our bio!

All worksites should be smoke and tobacco-free, including outdoor worksites. Everyone deserves to be protected from secondhand and thirdhand smoke while at work.

Founded by a nurse concerned with staggering tuberculosis cases, the organization continues its leadership by women. Jennifer, Breathe’s current Acting CEO is passionate about achieving cleaner air through designing better-built environments for people and communities.

Even if you don’t smoke, secondhand smoke can still cause heart disease, lung cancer, and stroke. Learn how secondhand smoke can harm your health: go.usa.gov/x78gV.

Tobacco-free parks protect humans and the environment. Keeping tobacco products out of our public spaces and communities is a key part of creating healthy communities!
