Mayor Michael Bloomberg of NYC has personally
donated more than $600 million of his fortune since
2007 to create and sustain antismoking programs
and fund research around the world. A former nicotine
addict, he is a most effective ally in the battle to curb tobacco.

The Bloomberg Initiative To Reduce Tobacco Use
is changing the sensibility about the global culture
of cigarette smoking. Most recent support includes
funding for research at Johns Hopkins University
and a vigorous antismoking campaign in Chile.
The Bloomberg Initiative may be having the most
significant impact of any program worldwide.
