Description
The Foundation for a Smokefree America's mission is to motivate youth to stay tobaccofree, and to empower smokers to quit successfully. This anti-smoking group is best known for its national campaign for teen tobacco prevention, and also for its large web outreach to those who want to quit smoking. Every major search engine ranks Smokefree America’s websites among its top three results for "anti-smoking", "anti-tobacco" and related search phrases. The 501c3 org was founded by Patrick Reynolds, the grandson of RJ Reynolds who spoke out against the tobacco industry after his father died from smoking. Mr. Reynolds continues his volunteer work to help educate the public about tobacco issues, and is a frequent speaker around the nation at health conferences community groups, and middle and high schools. "The Truth About Tobacco," the acclaimed DVD of Patrick's live talk to 1,000 9th graders, has been purchased by over 10,000 schools.
