The Sacramento City Council voted to end an exemption that allowed new tobacco retailers to bypass local restrictions by dedicating a small amount of shelf space to “healthy foods.”

The SF Board of Supervisors Land Use and Transportation Committee voted to continue a proposed ordinance that would have made bar patios smoke-free to protect workers, patrons and nearby residents from secondhand smoke. Read our statement here: https://t.co/4IiwZW3S5O

An alarming trend is surfacing: the re-glamorization of tobacco use, driven by the tobacco industry.

Research shows that media exposure to smoking imagery among young people makes them more likely to start using tobacco products like cigarettes and e-cigarettes.

Thank you to @MattMahanSJ for completing @ACSCAN’s candidate questionnaire to share where you stand on important cancer issues! We’re urging other candidates in this race to answer the questionnaire so voters know you’ll prioritize cancer patients if elected.

Excited to see Daniel Garibay Rodriguez at the Merced County Farm Bureau Candidate Forum and ask him questions about where he stands on important cancer issues. We would love to see where @AdamGrayCA, @vin4congress & @KevinLincolnCA stand on important cancer issues. #CancerVotes

The CA Senate passed the Stop Lung Cancer Early Act, which would help ensure more Californians do not delay or skip medically needed follow-up screenings and diagnostic services due to cost. Our statement release here: https://t.co/kimmHizs0j

The Clinical Trial Modernization Act was recently introduced in the Senate. The bill would help reduce cost & geographic barriers, making it easier for patients to take part in #ClinicalTrials. This is essential to reducing the cancer burden for everyone. https://t.co/fDHB5w7j62

We would love to see where @DrJasmeetBains and @dgvaladao stand on important cancer issues. #CancerVotes

Happy #NationalVolunteerAppreciation week & thank you California volunteers for all you do!  It is such a privilege to work alongside you and we deeply appreciate everything you do to help reduce the cancer burden for everyone!

We’re grateful to @SenSusanRubio for her leadership in introducing this critical legislation. Now it’s time for the #CALeg to act!
No one should have to delay or skip lifesaving screenings because of cost. Let’s make early detection accessible for all Californians!

Former NFL linebacker Chris Draft and ACS CAN CA SLA Laura LaRose are at the State Capitol to testify in support of a bill that could help save lives from lung cancer.

[ACS CAN California @ACSCANCA]

SB 1309 would ensure that people at high risk can access follow-up #lungcancerscreening and diagnostic services without out-of-pocket costs, removing a major barrier to early detection.

Happy Volunteer Appreciation Week to all our cancer advocates making an impact in the fight against cancer!

You make this work possible and we're so grateful to you for all that you do!

The President’s new budget proposal calls for cuts to medical research funding, falling short of what patients need & would lead to missed opportunities for cancer breakthroughs.

Send a message to your lawmakers urging them to invest in #CancerResearch.

Donating is simple and can help promising cancer research to continue. Visit https://t.co/GZ3qvqA1sS for a step-by-step guide and FAQs.
