A Win-Win Solution for Ohio's Health and Economy

There is a new report out from RWJ that looks really interesting, particularly given the economic challenges facing many state governments. It suggests that Ohio should raise tobacco tax rates to fund a state-level economic stimulus package. This would have multiple benefits of stimulating the economy, avoid raiding the state's Tobacco Prevention Foundation, and decrease usage of tobacco. The introduction of the report is here, a PDF of the full report is also available here.
