Governor Manchin’s budget proposal to the West Virginia Legislature contains current level funding for tobacco prevention and education programming of $5,687,358. The budget was presented in last night’s State of the State address.
While encouraging that this important area of public health funding is remaining stable in the Governor’s proposed budget it falls very short of the $27.8 million recommended by the Center’s for Disease Control and Prevention in Best Practices for Comprehensive Tobacco Control Programs—2007. West Virginia has made great strides in tobacco control, with very limited resources, but an investment closer to CDC’s recommended funding level would enable statewide implementation of the full range and scope of prevention, education, cessation and enforcement programs which have been proven effective.
