ACAS is a nonprofit, pro-health organization, supporting smoke and v**e-free interior locations such as workplaces, multi-unit housing, cars with kids inside, any enclosed public place. Our goal is to save lives through public awareness regarding the hazards of to***co use, especially when in enclosed public places. We accomplish this by advocating public policy which promotes a more healthy, smoke-free society. We believe that all individuals should have a healthy smoke-free workplace and home (including those living in multi-
unit housing). No one should have to be exposed to drifting second-handsmoke in their homes or on their jobs. No one should have to choose between their health and their job. We also support and highly encourage promotion of outdoor ‘To***co and Smoke-Free Campus policies
(including no e-cigarettes)’ throughout the State and Nation at Institutions of Higher Learning, Parks, Sports Arenas, Shopping Centers, Performance and Outdoor meeting venues, Public settings, wherever people gather together, as well as work-places. We are inspired and motivated by the ‘Smoke-Free Society in the United States’ challenge of Former Surgeon General of the United States C. Everett Koop.
