2,000 kids in this country become regular smokers every day. One in three will die prematurely as a result.

The tobacco companies are making millions in profits off of sales to these kids. At the same time, effective regulations to help reduce youth smoking are often blocked because of the millions of dollars that the tobacco companies spend every year on campaign contributions and lobbying.

KidsBeforeProfits.org is dedicated to provide a counter to big tobacco’s marketing and campaign contributions by getting people like you across the country to contact both current elected officials and those running for public office to let them know that you care deeply about the issue of kids and tobacco. Together, we can make our voices heard!

However, we can’t do it without your help. So, please, after you send your letter, let your friends, family, and colleagues know about the KidsBeforeProfit.org website. The fact is that we know exactly how to prevent kids from smoking – all it takes is the political pressure to make it happen.

KidsBeforeProfits.org is sponsored by the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids, a non-partisan not for profit group based in Washington, D.C. We are dedicated to supporting effective policies to reduce the toll of tobacco on our nation’s children.
