John,

Want to know how your state stacks up in the fight against tobacco?

Check out our just-released report: Broken Promises to our Children: A State-By-State Look at the 1998 Tobacco Settlement 23 Years Later.

Inside, you'll find:

• How much tobacco money your state collects,
• How much your state is doing to stop tobacco use, and
• What must be done to make the next generation tobacco-free.

You'll also learn how your state fits into the bigger picture. For example:

• Big Tobacco spends $11 to market its deadly products for every $1 the states spend to fight tobacco use.
• Of the $27 billion in tobacco money that states collected last year, they spent only 2.7% of it on programs that prevent kids from smoking and help smokers quit.
• Shockingly, just three states spent more than all the others combined. (Look inside to find out which ones!)

Tobacco use remains the #1 cause of preventable death. And as we continue to face dual health threats from an unprecedented respiratory pandemic and a youth e-cigarette epidemic that threatens millions of young people with a lifetime of addiction, this report is an especially timely wake-up call.

Please share it widely.

Best,
