Karen's Korner Items of Health - Tobacco Prevention by Karen Masshoff Here in Oregon on our national election ballots in November, we will be presented with a number of complex measures asking us to spend, or not to spend, various kinds of monies. ! encourage you to read and understand each of these measures and then to vote. In 1996, Oregonians took a major step toward improving public health by passing Measure 44- taxes on tobacco products. These taxes were to help support the Oregon Health Plan and to implement additional education regarding tobacco use. At the time, 550,000 adult Oregonians smoked (nearly one in four). Tobacco contributed to the deaths of 6,668 Oregonians and cost the state $1.5 billion in total health costs. In the three years since Oregon has had educational programs in place, 35,000 fewer Oregonians smoke. For each year the program is maintained, over 600 lives and $150 million are being saved in Oregon's future. The process of bringing forth vast amounts of scientific evidence of how destructive tobacco is in all of its different forms has only recently begun to work its way into the public realm. Those in tobacco prevention - county coordinators, health departments, school counselors and others- are acquiring the skills to head off the tobacco industry's attempts to target their advertising toward our children. It is necessary for all of us to maintain our vigilance regarding this industry's activities and to continue educating. On our coming ballots will be Measures 89 and 4 dealing with ways to apportion Oregon's share of the $246 billion settlement money from the tobacco companies gained through the actions of about 40 other state-attomeys-gcneral in 1998. Measure 89 was referred to the voters by the 1999 legislature where it was known as HB 2007. Measure 4 comes to us by referendum. In the coming weeks billboards will appear, editorials written, and much discussion will take place regarding the above measures. Again. I urge you to be open to listening and reading the various perspectives regarding these issues, decide for yourself what is the wisest course, and then to vote. ■^Statistics furnished by the Oregon Health Division.
