Fifty years ago, the U.S. Surgeon General released the first report on smoking and health. Since then, there have been an estimated 20 million deaths due to smoking. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has created an online memorial that honors those #20million people – spouses, mothers, fathers, children, sisters, brothers, friends, – who we have lost. View their stories and honor your loved ones using #20million*, **.
