Reducing the Toll of Tobacco

Tobacco Prevention and Cessation Funding

ACS CAN supports the continued, full implementation of Article X, Section 27 of the Florida Constitution. Funding allocated for the Tobacco Prevention and Education program should be approximately $76 million for Fiscal Year 2022-23 and allocated based on the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Best Practices. This program, now more than ever, should be fully funded and permitted to incorporate education around e-cigarettes to address the youth e-cigarette epidemic and continue reductions in use for other tobacco products.
