We also work to build support in the U.S. for addressing the worldwide tobacco epidemic and to make our own government a leader in this effort. Not only is the U.S. the world’s most powerful and wealthiest country, it is also home to Philip Morris, the largest multinational tobacco company. Our nation has a special obligation to lead in addressing this global public health crisis.

The Foundation for a Smokefree America was founded in 1989 by Patrick Reynolds, a grandson of the founder of the R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Company. A former pack-a-day smoker, Patrick saw his father, oldest brother and other relatives die from cigarette-induced emphysema, heart disease and cancer.
Concerned about the widespread death, disease, and emotional and economic hardship caused by tobacco, Patrick Reynolds divested his RJR stock, quit smoking and became, in the words of former Surgeon General C. Everett Koop, "one of the nation's most influential advocates of a smokefree America."
