Legislation & Public Policy

Advocacy Current Legislation | Elected Officials 

"Let me just say how much we appreciate the American Lung Association’s support for PlaNYC, and also for the smoke-free policies and tobacco cessation efforts that have led to the dramatic reduction of smokers in New York City over the past six years."
                                       Mayor Bloomberg 
                                       12/9/2008


The American Lung Association in New York’s efforts have fueled the fight against Big Tobacco and the struggle to maintain healthy air quality standards. 

Without the support of an informed and concerned public, these efforts would be lost.  Your action is our greatest asset when it comes to our efforts.


Legislative and Regulatory Issues
The American Lung Association in New York works every day to fight lung disease by offering legislative and regulatory solutions that will keep cigarettes away from children, help prevent smoking by teens, reduce outdoor air pollution and help people with asthma manage and control their disease. With your help, we can shape public policy to make breathing easier!  Click here to view current legislation that may affect you.
