Report Criticizes Missouri Over Lack of Spending on Tobacco Prevention

November 30, 2005 By admin Leave a Comment

The Washington, D.C.-based Campaign for Tobacco Free Kids has released its annual State Spending report looking at how individual states are spending the multi-billion dollar tobacco settlement money. The rankings of the fifty states and the District of Columbia place Missouri at the bottom – tied with Michigan, New Hampshire, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Washington, D.C. According to the Campaign for Tobacco Free Kids, Missouri is spending no money from the settlement with the tobacco companies for tobacco prevention – absolutely nothing! The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s recommendations call for Missouri to spend between $32.77-Million and $91.36-Million from the multi-billion dollar settlement with “Big Tobacco.”
