Smoke Is Smoke: Burning or Vaporizing Anything Causes Dangerous Secondhand Smoke
What is secondhand smoke?
Secondhand smoke is the smoke or aerosol exhaled by a person who smokes any type of lighted or heated product. It is also the smoke or emission released directly from the product while it burns or heats. While the percentage of US adults that smoke cigarettes has reached a new low dropping below 10%, smoking and secondhand smoke exposure remain leading causes of preventable death and disease.

Bipartisan Senate Letter Supports DFC Program Funding
CADCA is continuing our advocacy throughout the FY 2027 appropriations process. On April 13, 28 members of the Senate signed onto a bipartisan letter led by Senators Chuck Grassley (R-IA) and Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH). The letter, addressed to the appropriations committee, advocated for funding of the Drug-Free Communities (DFC) Program at the highest possible level, but not below the current level of $109 million. We are very grateful to all members of the CADCA community who reached out to their Senators to ask for their signature on the letter.
