Legacy is Celebrating 10 Years of Touching Lives

Over the past 10 years:

• Legacy’s national truth® campaign, which gives teens facts and information to make informed decisions about tobacco use, has been linked conclusively to a decline in youth smoking. 
• As part of the National Alliance for Tobacco Cessation, Legacy launched EX®, a new national campaign that helps smokers “re-learn life without cigarettes.” Preliminary evaluation data shows that EX has led to an increase in quit attempts.
• Legacy has awarded more than $150 million in grants to community-based organizations, public-health departments and centers, universities and foundations that reach people in new and innovative ways.
• We have worked to ensure that all Americans, regardless of minority or socioeconomic status, have equal access to tobacco prevention and cessation services.
• Legacy has conducted research to contribute to the scientific, health and policy debates surrounding the tobacco issue and recently opened the Steven A. Schroeder Institute for Tobacco Research and Policy Studies.
  In our first decade, so much has happened – yet so much remains to be done. Tobacco is still the number one cause of preventable death in the United States, and more than 400,000 people lose their lives to it every year.

With your help, we can change that.
