Cancer and heart disease kill more people in California than any other cause of death. Medical experts - from the US Surgeon General to your local doctor – are unequivocal: tobacco leads directly heart disease, cancer and other life-threatening illnesses.

This new $1 tobacco tax - paid only by those who purchase tobacco-products - is projected to: • save 104,000 lives, • stop 228,000 kids from smoking and • generate over $500m every year to support life-saving research into prevention, detection, and treament of cancers, heart disease and other smoking-related illnesses.

Prop 29 saves lives, keeps kids from smoking and may lead us to a cure.
