[LOGO] Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids

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 24 Years Later. [[link removed]]

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 $12 to market its deadly products for every $1 the states spend to fight tobacco use.
* Of the $26.7 billion that states are collecting this year from the tobacco settlement and tobacco taxes, they are spending only 2.7% of it on programs that prevent kids from using tobacco and help smokers quit.
* Only two states fund tobacco prevention and cessation programs at or above the CDC-recommended levels. (Look inside to find out which ones!)

The continuing need for well-funded tobacco prevention and cessation programs is clear. While the U.S. has made enormous progress in reducing cigarette smoking and other tobacco use, tobacco use still kills over 480,000 people and is responsible for over $241 billion in health care expenditures in the U.S. each year.

This report is a wakeup call. Please share it widely.

Best,

Annie Tegen
Vice President, State Advocacy
