The bill would ban tobacco products that have an aroma or flavor other than tobacco or menthol, that are marketed as such or that come in dissolvable, capsule form. It would also require all tobacco products to be displayed somewhere they are not directly accessible to buyers and would allow county-level jurisdictions to pass tobacco regulations that are stricter than state ones. According to the bill’s fiscal note, it would lead to a loss of tax revenue of about $21 million for the state in the 2011-13 biennium,cheap marlboro cigarettes website, but supporters of the bill said that the health benefits of keeping young people off tobacco would offset those losses.
A 2010 study from the state tobacco prevention program estimated that $5 have been saved in healthcare costs for every dollar spent on prevention in the last 10 years, though these savings were based on total costs to patients, hospitals and insurance companies, not just savings to the state. Washington tobacco retailers argued that they were saddled with enough restrictions already and that the Legislature should focus on enforcing existing laws, which prohibit anyone under 18 from buying tobacco.
Mark Johnson of the Washington Retail Association said that the bill would be particularly harmful to small retailers,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], who rely on the money tobacco sales bring in. Kazimir,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], now retired from the Department of Health and Senior Services,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], is particularly proud of the REBEL program he strived to create. “It was the greatest outreach program there was.
It went out into just about every school in the state. The whole idea was to change the image of smoking, and they did an amazing job with that.” Dr. Fred Jacobs, director of the Quality Institute for the Saint Barnabas Health Care System, served as the commissioner of the state Department of Health and Senior Services for three years under former Govs.

Another dedicated anti-tobacco crusader who heads the NJBreathes anti-smoking coalition,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Jacobs said even in the face of budget cuts during each of his three years as commissioner, he always preserved the $11 million in funding he had for anti-tobacco programs. He did so even while watching other programs in his department lose money. “They (anti-smoking programs) were that important to me,” Jacobs says. “If you increase the smoking rate just 1 percent,marlboro cigarettes website, the cost is in the billions of dollars. So even just from a financial sense, it’s worth it to spend the money . . .
But when you talk to the (state) Treasury, they don’t look at it that way.” At Saint Barnabus,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the hospital system decided last year to maintain its two quit centers at Newark Beth Israel and Lakewood medical centers and its smoking cessation programs available at all six of its acute care hospitals in Central and North Jersey even after the state funding went away. Jacobs said Saint Barnabus is committed to continuing the fight against smoking whether the state is or not.
