Wisconsin Tobacco
Prevention & Control Program
An estimated 7,215 people die annually from illnesses directly related
to smoking and approximately 853 die from illnesses and fires indirectly
related to smoking, for a total of 8,068 annual deaths in Wisconsin. Tobacco use also costs
Wisconsin
approximately $3 billion annually in health care expenses and lost
productivity. This web site
provides information and links to tobacco use prevention and tobacco
addiction treatment resources in
Wisconsin.
The FACT They Killed 8000 campaign was created by FACT youth over the
course of brainstorming sessions held in Appleton, Hudson, Madison,
Milwaukee and Minocqua, and the campaign TV ad stars five
“FACTors” from across Wisconsin.
The ad takes the viewer through a
Wisconsin
town of 8,000 people that’s been completely wiped out and concludes by revealing that 8,000 Wisconsinites are
killed by Big Tobacco every year. See the ad in our Media
Campaigns section.

My SmokeFree Story Campaign
The My SmokeFree Story radio campaign features nine Wisconsinites
sharing their experiences with secondhand smoke. Each of the spots
encourages others to tell their own secondhand smoke story by calling
1-866-94STORY or visiting the website at www.mysmokefreestory.com.
Visitors to the site can also learn about the health effects of
secondhand smoke and see more of the storytellers through video and
photos.
This draft plan represents the proposed implementation for a
comprehensive tobacco prevention and control effort to prevent and
reduce the death, disease, and health care costs caused by tobacco in
Wisconsin given a 2008 state budget allocation of $15 million. The state
tobacco control budget expansion coincides with the release of CDC’s
new 2007 Best Practices for Comprehensive Tobacco Control Programs
distributed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Partners can use this input form to submit their written feedback on
the draft plan. There will be many opportunities for continued dialogue
and feedback from our various partners.
