Our mission is to prevent lung disease and promote lung health. Statewide programs and services focus on tobacco control, asthma, lung disease, and environmental health.

Description:
The American Lung Association has many programs that revolve around promoting good lung health and preventing bad lung health. For example, N-O-T, a program which is devised to help teens stop smoking. It also helps with nicotine withdrawal and how to manage relapses. This organization also needs the help of volunteers to Volunteer in the Fight Against Lung Disease!
The American Lung Association of Massachusetts needs you, your time, and your skills to help with programs and special events. Through innovative education, research, and advocacy, the Lung Association is working hard to fight lung disease today and prevent lung disease tomorrow. Join the oldest voluntary health association and volunteer!
