Through targeted campaigns and policy initiatives, Truth Initiative works to eliminate disparities and strengthen communities affected by tobacco and vaping products.

Truth Initiative’s EX Program, developed in collaboration with Mayo Clinic, provides free cessation resources to millions, with research showing it increases quit rates by up to 40%. This program is central to the organization’s mission of equipping individuals with tools to avoid or end nicotine dependence.
