OK Gov. Wants Ads Against Tobacco Proposal Pulled 

Jump to full article: AP, 2004-10-26

Intro:

Governor Brad Henry says ads funded by big tobacco companies opposing State Question 7-13 are misleading and should be pulled from the airwaves.

State Question 713 would increase the tobacco tax to fund health-care projects. Proponents say the tax would also discourage smoking, especially among children.

Speaking at a rally of trauma-care survivors in Oklahoma City, Henry says tobacco companies are interested in their profits, not the health of Oklahomans.

Opponents of State Question 713 say the ads are not incorrect and that the proposal isn't a health care issue.

Representatives from the Utah Department of Health, the Gay Lesbian Bisexual Transgender Community Center of Utah and the Jordan School District were rightly alarmed by Centers for Disease Control data that show gay people between the ages of 18 and 24 are almost twice as likely as their straight peers to smoke.

Strathcona County will have the toughest smoking ban in Alberta, and one of the toughest in Canada, next year after its council all but pushed through the controversial bylaw Tuesday.
