FACT:  
Over 1.5 million American children, some as young as 8 years old, start smoking each year! The tobacco industry spends over $15.4 billion, or over $28 per teenager, (vs. less than $1 per child by the government) a year in the USA alone advertising their deadly products, with the majority of it reaching our kids. The alarming news reported by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is that for the first time in many years, smoking among high school students did not go down and held at 23% in 2005 due to the increase in tobacco advertising and promotions by discounting or subsidizing the cost of each pack at the retail level. i.e. buy one and get one free, double packaging, etc. 

FACT:  
Education and awareness are the most effective tools in curbing tobacco use. We must invest our tax-deductible donations in our children's future to increase their  information, education and awareness on the hazards and cost of smoking and tobacco use to prevent them from a lifelong enslavement to smoking and tobacco use.

FACT:  
Tax-deductible donations are the best way to give back to the your community because you decide where your tax money should be spent.* On June 25th 2006, Warren Buffett, the legendary investor and philanthropist, gave $31 billion of his own money away to charities, inspiring all of us to give because: No amount is too small to give - just donate $1 or $2 a week. 

FACT:  
You too can donate! Helping and encouraging nearly 50 million American smokers (our loved ones) quit smoking and educating our children not to start smoking or use tobacco requires everyone's involvement as a volunteer and/or donor to help this most important cause of the 21st century. Your tax-deductible donations can help us further this mission and provide you with an opportunity to reduce your taxes. 

FACT:
Smoke Free Society Education Corporation is a not-for-profit,
501(c)(3) tax-exempt, charitable organization dedicated to provide facilities to study, research and develop effective education, prevention and smoking/tobacco cessation programs to encourage smokers to quit and educate the public of all ages, especially children, on the hazards of smoking and the benefits staying smoke free and living a healthy lifestyle that can lead to increased productivity, cost savings and eliminating disability, disease and death caused by smoking and tobacco use.

We need your fully tax-deductible donations to further our cause and save children from a lifetime enslavement to tobacco! 
The child you save could be yours!

FACT:
Tragically, over 4,400 kids a day, as young as 8 years old, start smoking and join the 1 out of 4 Americans who smoke. That means you or someone you love is a smoker. 

FACT:
As a community-based, nonprofit corporation, you can help!

FACT:
If you are looking for the greatest incentive to quit smoking, look no further! We ask for your generous tax-deductible donations to help with this vital cause. Whatever amount you can give will help us get a step closer to our goals of a smoke free society by educating children not to smoke and/or use tobacco. 

To make a tax-deductible donation in the name of a loved one lost to tobacco, please contact us by email at

FACT:
Another important way to give is to get involved and give a few hours of your time. With internet technology, you only need to give a few hours a week to help with many tasks right from home or work such as writing, editing,  customer service, marketing, promotion, website support and webmaster, etc. 

JUST GET INVOLVED AND CARE!
