Youth Newport Cigarettes Smoking Has Stopped Declining-1
(Reference [link widoczny dla zalogowanych]) Smokeless Newport Cigarettes Use Up; Elected Leaders Must Step Up Fight to Protect Kids from Newport Cigarettes
It is troubling news for the nation's health that the 2010 Monitoring the Future Survey released today shows that smoking rates have stopped declining – and may have ticked up slightly – among 8th and 10th graders, while youth smokeless [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] use has increased significantly in recent years. These results come as states have slashed funding for Newport Cigarettes prevention programs while the Newport Cigarettes industry continues to aggressively market its deadly and addictive products. The industry's recent tactics have included the introduction of an array of new smokeless [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] products, many in kid-friendly candy and fruit flavors, and heavy discounting that makes cigarettes and other [link widoczny dla zalogowanych]s products more affordable and appealing to price-sensitive kids.
The Monitoring the Future results, released by the National Institute of Drug Abuse, are consistent with those of other recent surveys. They sound a clear warning to elected officials at all levels that we cannot take continued progress against [link widoczny dla zalogowanych]s for granted and must redouble efforts to implement proven strategies, including higher [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] taxes, increased funding for [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] prevention programs including mass media campaigns, strong smoke-free laws and effective regulation of [link widoczny dla zalogowanych]s products and marketing.
It is especially critical that the states quickly increase funding for Newport Cigarettes prevention programs that have been decimated by budget cuts in recent years. In the past three years, states have slashed funding for Newport Cigarettes prevention programs by 28 percent to the lowest level since 1999, when they first received funds from settlement of their lawsuits against the Newport Cigarettes industry. This year (Fiscal Year 2011), the states will collect $25.3 billion in revenue from the Newport Cigarettes settlement and Newport Cigarettes taxes, but will spend only two percent of it – $517.9 million – on programs to prevent kids from smoking and help smokers quit. Altogether, the states are providing just 14 percent of the Newport Cigarettes prevention funding recommended by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The evidence is clear that the more the states spend on Newport Cigarettes prevention programs, and the longer they do so, the greater the declines in [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] use. It is no coincidence that the largest youth smoking declines occurred between about 1997 and 2003 when funding for [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] prevention programs increased, as did cigarette prices, in the wake of the 1998 state Newport Cigarettes settlement. Since then, states have repeatedly cut funding for such programs, and Legacy has also had to reduce funding for its highly successful truth? youth smoking prevention campaign because most of its settlement funding ended in 2003.
