The information provided on this site by The Center for Social Gerontology pertains to tobacco use by and its effects on old and young adults from communities of color in the United States. Because people in communities of color have been specially targeted by the tobacco industry, with the resultant suffering and death from tobacco-related diseases, information is included on legal remedies now being pursued to redress these wrongful acts by the tobacco industry -- specifically lawsuits and legislative action related to the recent state tobacco settlements.
