Some details released about how WI TPCP will handle 55% reduction in funding


Tobacco Prevention and Control (TPCP) has suffered a drastic cut in funding as a result of the 2009-11 State Budget. This means there are many changes that will take place statewide and locally when it comes to prevention and control initatives. However, TPCP is committed to supporting Wisconsin smokers quit, preventing youth from starting, providing smoke-free air for everyone at their workplace and working to eliminate disparities among population groups.

TPCP announced plans for the remainder of 2009 and all of 2010 to continue to implement a comprehensive approach to tobacco prevention and control. Please click the link below to view the Budget Summary or the webinar from August 18th.
