THE BATTALION
Survey displays Texans
like tobacco prevention
Two-thirds of900 residents wish to see
$17.3 billion settlement used on programs
AUSTIN (AP)—A survey of900 Texans shows
that two-thirds of them would like to see more of
the state’s $18.3 billion settlement with tobacco
companies spent on tobacco prevention programs.
The study, released Monday, was conducted
in October by the University of Texas-Houston.
It found that about half of those surveyed fa
vored using the funds to build schools and provide
health insurance for children. Less than one-third
supported using the money for roads and tax relief.
Angela Meschack, project director for the
study, said the results showed that there is a gap
between the money spent and the level of mon
ey people want spent.
She recommended that the Legislature follow
public opinion when drafting the budgets during
he next session that begins in January.
The study was sponsored by a grant from the
National Institute of Health and had a margin of
error of plus or minus 4 percent. The state received
about $ 1.8 billion for the current two-yes:
period that ends Aug. 1,2001.
About $20 million was set aside for
co programs. According to Meschack,
for Disease Control in Atlanta suggest
tween $100 million and $200 million be
tobacco control. Mescack said lawmaket
be reluctant to spend the money on prevent
grams because the state makes about $501!
a year on taxes from cigarettes.
