Spread Awareness
#dayofbreathing #dayofgiving #secondhandsmokeisdangerous
March 1st, 2025, is ANR’s 49th birthday! Day of Breathing celebrates our history of advocacy and promotes awareness about the dangers of secondhand smoke. ANR has been fighting for your health since 1976 when a small group of concerned local citizens who were worried about the effects of secondhand smoke on our bodies began meeting and planning.
The organizing of ANR’s early founders set in motion the smokefree movement. ANR’s work (and ANR Foundation support) plus many coalitions of people and partners helped pass a cascade of smokefree laws that has resulted in massive cultural change and improved health for millions of people.
On March 1st you can help improve the lives of the 58 million people still exposed to secondhand smoke. We're fighting for casino workers like Nicole (at left) and you can help by wearing blue and joining ANR by donating on March 1st. Brave casino workers like Nicole have raised up their voices in a recent hearing before the New Jersey Senate.
