American Lung Association of California: Smoke Free Choice
The American Lung Association is the oldest voluntary health organization in the United States, with a National Office and constituent and affiliate associations around the country. Founded in 1904 to fight tuberculosis, the American Lung Association today fights lung disease in all its forms, with special emphasis on asthma, tobacco control and environmental health. In a recent survey commissioned by the American Lung Association of California of 602 California apartment residents, 69 percent would favor requiring all apartment buildings to offer non-smoking sections. The survey found that 46 percent of respondents reported that they were breathing their neighbor's tobacco smoke, and nearly 90 percent of tenants surveyed believe exposure to secondhand smoke is harmful.
