A great deal of very good (and meaningful) work is continuing in our state, thanks to the tireless efforts of the dedicated leadership and staff with the Tobacco Prevention and Cessation Commission (as part of the State Department of Health) and all of their local community partners across the state. But, if we’re going to make the health of our youth and adults a TRUE priority once again, it’d be great if the state would bring back the (independent) agency that was known as the Indiana Tobacco Prevention and Cessation (ITPC). In addition to restoring annual funding to a range of at least $30-40 million annually, the state needs to increase taxes on all forms of tobacco (including vaping) and it could do so by actually taking the funds Indiana receives annually from the Master Tobacco Settlement and actually use it for tobacco prevention and cessation. All of this has been shown as proven and effective strategies for helping to lower tobacco use among adults and, especially, our youth.
