Action on Smoking and Health (ASH) very strongly supports the Framework Convention on Tobacco Control, and will do everything in its power to see that it comes into effect and is effective. Smoking is a worldwide problem which knows no boundaries, and it cannot be fought effectively except on an international basis, and with the active cooperation of the many nations where big tobacco is trying to promote its deadly product.

ASH has taken a supportive role in the Global war against the tobacco epidemic.

To address the global tobacco epidemic, ASH works closely with partners in the United States and abroad on a variety of programs and initiatives.

ASH is a member of the Framework Convention Alliance, which is a coalition of over 150 Non Governmental Organizations from around the world that work cooperatively to support a strong WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control.
