Bloomberg And Allen Boost Their Health Giving

Bloomberg And Allen Boost Their Health Giving


A couple of really rich guys have decided to give even more money to health causes they care about deeply.
New York Mayor, media magnate and public health zealot Michael Bloomberg said he will give $220 million to fight smoking in the developing world. Bloomberg's charitable foundation has targeted tobacco use.
And the latest chunk of money, which is part of a four-year commitment, will bring Bloomberg Philanthropies' support of anti-smoking efforts around the globe to more than $600 million.
"It is a scourge, all over the world," Bloomberg said in a press conference, according to Bloomberg News. "Smoking kills the user, but it also can kill the people who are innocent and just happen to be in the neighborhood, if you will."
