Subject: Cigarette and Smokeless Tobacco Reports

On behalf of the 500 members of the Kansas Public Health Association, I ask that you continue to issue periodic reports showing the amount cigarette companies and smokeless tobacco companies spend each year to market and promote their products.

The reports, as they are, give public health programs crucial information which helps them in developing tobacco prevention public education efforts. It is the only data available to public health programs in this regard.

Please continue the reports.
