Return Tobacco Settlement Funding to Prevention & Cessation Programs

Tri-Cities Legislative Agenda

They asked for authority to limit smoking in public places. This resolution would strengthen the statewide effort.

To date, we have been unable to find anyone who can explain why the Tobacco Settlement Funds have been removed from the prevention and cessation efforts that it served for three years. There has been an implication that it was set up for three years and that's why it ended. If anyone would like to work further on this effort, please contact Melony Ison (423-742-1025).
