Health Before Trade: Tobacco Out of the FTAA & CAFTA!

The U.S. and 33 other countries throughout the Americas are negotiating a Free Trade Area of the Americas (FTAA). The U.S. is also negotiating the Central American Free Trade Agreement (CAFTA) with Central American countries. The stated purpose of the FTAA and the CAFTA is to promote trade and investment between countries. But when it comes to tobacco, more trade = less health! The FTAA and CAFTA pose a major threat to efforts to protect the lives and lungs of people throughout the Americas from profit-hungry tobacco corporations. Send a fax to U.S. Trade Representative, Robert Zoellick calling on him to exclude tobacco from the FTAA and CAFTA!
