Americans for Non-Smokers

Americans for Nonsmokers' Rights (ANR) is a member-supported national lobbying organization that promotes the rights of nonsmokers and opposes the tobacco industry. The organization seeks to expose the dangers of secondhand smoke and youth tobacco addiction. Founded in 1976, ANR began by backing legislation to ban smoking in the workplace and other enclosed public spaces. Since the early 1980s ANR has supported clean indoor air initiatives in over 1,500 communities in the U.S.
