While I've been watching my father-in-law, age 67, in his final hours as he dies from small cell lung cancer it gives you the chance to ask questions...
like this: New Jersey currently allocates $11.0 million a year for tobacco prevention. This is 24.4% of the CDC's minimum recommendation and ranks New Jersey 36th among the states in the funding of tobacco prevention programs. New Jersey's spending on tobacco prevention amounts to 1.0% of the $1.0 billion in tobacco-generated revenue the state collects each year in tobacco settlement payments and tobacco taxes. I'm thinking about tapping into this fund and I'll set-up a non-profit. I'll base it in AP. Do the schools in AP (I'm asking around, not just ap) have any programs do address smoking ? My thoughts are someone should tap into this fund for such things as scholarships etc.. Then you read how NJ really f-cked up their settlement: http://www.tobaccofreekids.org/reports/settlements/state.php?StateID=NJ They sold the settlement to cover - a budget shortfall. I haven't finished reading about NJ's settlement, but I'll get to it. PS - the boardwalk and the beach should be "smoke free" Go ahead and shoot me. Three new "bars" where smoking is not permitted inside -- don't need it on the BW. Like going into the casinos. The sign is posted (at least the Bogata) NO SMOKING. Then one table is smokling, one not. one is one not. You could almost choke on it. A joke. Yahoo!
