Paul Knepprath Community Quotations

This initiative will save lives, by raising the tobacco tax and funding urgently needed community emergency and related health care services. This is the broadest coalition that's ever come together to reduce smoking, the number one cause of death in California.

And, as I think some board members mentioned, this impact on the international community could be very helpful.
