So you think that anti-tobacco control only about idealism and not about money...well think again! It is an industry just as tobacco producing is. Where do you think this money goes? Who do you think gets paid in salaries from these "allocations"? Most of all, which groups do you think get grants from the "local lead agencies" to lobby tobacco control, NOT EDUCATE on tobacco? The American Lung Association has received OVER 20 million of these dollars and we can PROVE it! That should explain why they scream murder when the budget get cut...so does their share of allocations.
What makes this more insidious is that every cent that was handed out to the local lead agencies below was paid for BY SMOKERS THEMSELVES.
The shame of it all is that smokers in California do NOTHING to stop this! It can be stopped, and FORCES will do what we can to stop it. But it is hard without smokers and nonsmoking allies to support us in the effort. It takes money to control people...it also will take money to fight that control.
Notice - Berkeley is the only city to get separate funding from Proposition 99. Could it be that the "Americans for Nonsmokers' Rights" are headquartered there?
