The American Lung Association is the leading

organization working to save lives by improving

lung health and preventing lung disease, through

research, education and advocacy. Our work is

focused on five strategic imperatives: to defeat

lung cancer; to improve the air we breathe; to

reduce the burden of lung disease on individuals

and their families; to eliminate tobacco use and

tobacco-related diseases; and to monitor and

enhance organizational effectiveness.

Our Credo

We will breathe easier when the air in every

American community is clean and healthy.

We will breathe easier when people are free from the addictive

grip of tobacco and the debilitating effects of lung disease.

We will breathe easier when the air in our public spaces and

workplaces is clear of secondhand smoke.

We will breathe easier when children no longer

battle airborne poisons or fear an asthma attack.

Until then, we are fighting for air.
