Action on Smoking and Health (ASH) is a non-profit tax-exempt legal action antismoking organization based in the United States that has been solely devoted to the many problems of smoking for over 40 years.

Its principal activity is to serve as the legal action arm of the nonsmoking community, bringing or joining in legal actions concerning smoking, and insuring that the voice of the nonsmoker is heard. It also serves as an advocate of the nonsmokers' rights movement.

ASH's executive director, John F. Banzhaf, III, has been called the "Ralph Nader of the Tobacco Industry," "Mr. Anti-Smoking," and the "Man behind the Ban on Cigarette Commercials". He is perhaps the best known spokesman for the anti-smoking community, and has frequently discussed and debated many topics related to smoking. He has appeared frequently on news, talk-show, and debate programs including the McNeil-Lehrer News Hour, Today, Good Morning America, Nightline, Crossfire, Face The Nation, and many others. He has been a featured speaker at many World Conferences on tobacco, and has testified numerous times on topics related to smoking.
