Cancer research saves lives, and the fight against cancer can't wait. @SenToddYoung and @SenatorBanks, please pass a full-year spending bill NOW to protect and increase funding for lifesaving cancer research and prevention. Advocates with @acscan need you to #ProtectCancerCures.

“This year, Indiana lawmakers stood up to Big Tobacco” by boosting the taxes, said Allie Kast Gregg, government relations director for the @ACSCAN. #INleg @INCapChronicle @LeslieABonilla

.@ACSCAN's Allie Kast Gregg says this year’s $2 cigarette tax increase and higher taxes on other tobacco products are already making an impact. Cigarette consumption is down 40 percent, and Quit Now Indiana enrollments are up 38 percent. @953MNC

It is essential Indiana increase $$ for programs to prevent kids from starting to use tobacco & help those already addicted quit. Two-thirds of people who smoke say they want to quit & about half try each year, but few succeed without help. @postlocalnews

“This year, #INlegis stood up to Big Tobacco by increasing the cigarette tax by $2 per pack as well as increasing the tax on other tobacco products,” said Allie Kast Gregg, @ACSCAN. “As Hoosiers seek to quit tobacco, free resources are available.”

.@ACSCAN advocates are marking the @AmericanCancer's 49th annual Great American Smokeout, taking place Thursday, Nov. 20, by continuing to thank #INlegis for standing up to Big Tobacco and by calling on Hoosiers to make a plan to quit. https://t.co/zA5nyU7cNU

This week, Indiana was recognized as the country’s top state advocacy team by the American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network (@ACSCAN) in honor of their exceptional work advocating for cancer-fighting public policies. @wtreradio

Indiana was recognized as the country’s top state advocacy team by the @ACSCAN in honor of "exceptional work advocating for cancer-fighting public policies." @StatehouseFile

A New Albany woman, @maryrflkost, has just received a national shoutout for her commitment to fighting cancer. @ACSCAN @WHAS11

.@maryrflkost has been a tireless champion for cancer patients, survivors & families, fighting for policies that improve prevention, access to care, & quality of life. Her wealth of experience, combined with deep compassion, has made her a trusted leader. https://t.co/sWfdJeAxDO

One volunteer & cancer survivor, @aspendreams, told @WISHNews8 she’s on a mission to make sure the stories of those impacted, like her 12-year-old grandson Ollie, are not forgotten when lawmakers head to the Statehouse and Washington D.C. #LightsofHope https://t.co/Zk1fTQHGx5

"Every light you see here is literally a light of hope, and it represents somebody's life," said @aspendreams, Indiana State Lead Ambassador with the @ACSCAN. Yoder advocates for health policy, research money and equal access to care. @WTHRcom #LightsofHope

Thank you to @SenToddYoung for signing a July 24 14-member letter to @WHOMB asking for proper disbursement of appropriated FY25 @NIH research funds. This funding is crucial in the fight against cancer nationwide. We hope we can count on you to #ProtectCancerCures in FY26, too.

.@keithhollings has undergone 110 rounds of treatments. He has one drug left to try, & it won’t cure him; it will keep him stable. For Keith & others, clinical trials are often the only light left at the end of an increasingly constricted tunnel. @jconline

Quizá la parte más visible del nuevo presupuesto estatal sea el aumento de dos dólares por paquete de cigarrillos. La @ACSCAN estima que esto ayudará a unos 32,000 adultos a dejar de fumar y evitará que 7,000 jóvenes empiecen a hacerlo. @ELPUENTENEWS https://t.co/p1XIts27sd

.@acscan commends #inlegis for prioritizing the well-being of Hoosiers by implementing a $2/pack increase in the cigarette tax, along with tax hikes on other tobacco products. These two actions will ease the burden of cancer for Hoosiers. @madisoncourier

"The budget passed by the #INlegis represents a significant victory in the battle against cancer and for the health of Hoosiers," said Allie Kast Gregg, @ACSCAN government relations director. @nwi_DanCarden @nwi
