RWJF subsidies anti-roken

Voor degenen die nog steeds niet willen geloven dat de farmaceutische nicotine-industrie één van de grootste stimulators van de anti-rokenhype is, moet het bijgaande bericht toch wel de laatste twijfels wegnemen.

In dit bericht wordt aangekondigd dat door de Robert Wood Johnson Foundation $2,2 miljoen werd toegekend aan 25 initiatieven om rookverboden en andere anti-tabaksacties te bevorderen op lokaal, regionaal en landelijk niveau…

The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) has awarded 25 grants totaling $2.2 million for nationwide tobacco-prevention and cessation initiatives under its Tobacco Policy Change program.

Grants will fund local, regional, and national organizations pursuing policy change to increase local or state tobacco taxes, comprehensive clean indoor air laws, public funding for prevention and cessation programs, restrictions on advertising and product placement, as well as other initiatives.

Award values range from $50,000 to $100,000. This round is the first under the foundation’s Tobacco Policy Change program, which looks to award $12 million over the next three years.

  • I've alllllllways said that asking smokers "do you want to quit?" and reporting the results of that question, as is, is horribly misleading. It's a TWO part question. After asking if one wants to quit it must be followed up with "Why?" Ask why and the majority of the answers will be "because I'm supposed to" (victims of guilt and propaganda), not "because I want to."
