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.
