Tobacco Prevention and Control Program Funding Restored!


Posted on Smoke-Free Wisconsin's Blog late Thursday evening by Liz Sanger.

This just in from the Joint Finance Committee session last night: Tobacco Prevention and Control Program funding has been restoredto its current level of $15.25 million per year. (Vote: 12-4)
This is good news for state taxpayers, our next generation of youth in Wisconsin, and tobacco users who need help quitting their addictions.The program works. It saves taxpayer dollars. The investment is critical.
Our work isn't done, so keep your sleeves rolled up!

THANK YOU to all of you for your hard work so far.
