Help TobaccoFree CA Continue the Fight Against Tobacco

Your son’s big birthday bash. Your daughter’s first dance recital. Your wedding anniversary. These are some of life’s special moments- the moments you never want to miss. However, these are “Lost Moments” for nearly 40,000 Californians who die every year due to tobacco related deaths. No one should lose out on life’s precious moments because of smoking.

Everyone is affected by tobacco. TobaccoFreeCA is encouraging Californians to share their own “Lost Moments” to help raise awareness of tobacco and its devastating effects, which still kills 1 in 5 Americans each year.

Visit TobaccoFreeCA.com to share your own #LostMoments stories and create a personalized #LostMoments video using the #LostMoments video generator to share with friends and family on Facebook or Twitter.
