Save the Tobacco Prevention and Control Program

Every year Utah tax payers lose $618 million due to smoking-attributable medical and productivity costs.  Right now tobacco use is the leading preventable of death in the United States.  Despite the current success from the Tobacco Prevention and Control Program, more than 230,000 adults and youth still use tobacco.  There is the need to keep funding in order to reach this population in new and innovative ways.  We know prevention saves both lives and money.  Mass media and cessation services have been a crucial elements to the program.  Sign this petition if you would like to keep tobacco prevention strong in Utah, and the services available.
