A push for more funding to fight smoking

April 15, 2010 By WRN Contributor

Smoking foes say Wisconsin isn’t doing enough to combat Big Tobacco.

Allison Miller of the Wisconsin chapter of the American Cancer Society says the state will spend about $7 million this year on anti-tobacco measures this year. However, she says the CDC recommends that we should be spending 10 times that much.

Miller says spending on smoking cessation programs took a big hit in the last state budget, even though tobacco taxes were increased. When that happens, she says people want to quit but can’t get help kicking the habit.
