Action Alert

We need your help to make sure tobacco prevention remains strong in Arkansas. Right now there is an attempt to steer funding away from successful anti-smoking campaigns to other projects.

Click here to take action! Tell lawmakers to keep tobacco funds where they belong – fighting tobacco use.

The “Tobacco Proceeds Initiated Act of 2000” was established to reduce smoking in our state. It funds successful community based programs that have proven to reduce smoking, especially among our youth.

But now there will likely be a proposal that would raid this fund and steer dollars to other projects. Smoking costs us thousands of lives and millions of dollars in medical costs. With Arkansas already spending far less than the recommended levels on tobacco prevention, we can’t afford to go backwards.

Please send this message today to your legislator to ensure they understand the cost of moving these funds from tobacco cessation and prevention. Click on the link above to take action today!
