Nonprofits are all smoke and mirrors
Audrey Silk, the founder of NYC Citizens Lobbying Against Smoker Harassment, feels targeted by organizations like the American Cancer Society, American Lung Association and American Heart Association. These national organizations have used donations to lobby for laws to stop smoking throughout the nation.
Now Audrey Silk and her supporters are planning to boycott these nonprofit organizations.
Silk's strategy may seem a little harsh at first, but not when you begin to understand why she has taken this position.
