 NEW YORK (AP) - Mayor Michael Bloomberg, a billionaire and former smoker, announced Tuesday he would pour $125 million of his own money into a worldwide campaign against smoking, a cause he said was largely neglected by philanthropists.
Bloomberg gives millions each year to benefit medical research, arts and education, but he typically doesn't announce he is doing so.
On Tuesday, he made an exception and discussed his anti-smoking campaign, which he described as "a social investment."
