Title: Save Lives California

URL: http://www.savelivescalifornia.com/

Description: SAVE LIVES CALIFORNIA is a coalition made up of the American Heart Association, American Lung Association in California and American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network, joined by doctors, nurses, patients, survivors, hospitals, healthcare workers and taxpayers all dedicated to passing a life-saving $2 tobacco tax ballot measure by the end of 2016. The California Tobacco Tax for Healthcare, Research & Prevention Act proposes a new $2 per pack tax on tobacco products to save the lives of Californians suffering from deadly and preventable diseases, and prevent more youth from using tobacco in the first place. The revenue generated from the law will expand treatment services for Medi-Cal patients with tobacco-related and other illnesses, support existing statewide programs to prevent youth from using tobacco, stop illegal sales of tobacco, and increase funding for medical research into new treatments and cures for deadly diseases such as cancer and heart disease.
