The Illinois Coalition Against Tobacco (ICAT) is a group of more than 130 organizations and individuals working together to reduce tobacco use in Illinois. Our mission is to promote prevention of the harmful effects of tobacco to individuals and to society at-large. ICAT wants the public to know the facts Tobacco contains nicotine, an addictive drug that makes it very difficult for users to quit. Nicotine addiction is a pediatric disease. The average age to become a daily smoker is 14.5 years. Tobacco kills more than 420,000 smokers in America each year. One of every three smokers dies from tobacco-related disease. Secondhand smoke is deadly. It kills about 53,000 nonsmokers and triggers roughly 1,000,000 episodes of childhood illness every year. Annual health care costs attributable to tobacco use are in excess of $50 billion dollars in the United States. The tobacco industry spends more than $17 million a day to promote their product. They target market to teens, minorities and women. The Tobacco Industry has tremendous political power in Illinois and the federal level. It is one of the most powerful special interest groups, contributing massive amounts of money to politicians and political parties.

Search: Subscribe to Advocacy.org newsletter: Making the Case: State Tobacco Control Briefing Papers The Master Settlement Agreement reached in November 1998 created the potential for significant new investment in tobacco prevention and control. As state funding battles continue across the country today, tobacco control activists have an opportunity to create programs that can reduce the health, social and economic damage caused by tobacco products. With support from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, the Advocacy Institute undertook a project to help state-level tobacco control advocates secure adequate funding for comprehensive tobacco control programs. "Making the Case: State Tobacco Control Policy Briefing Papers" is designed to facilitate discussion and analysis among tobacco control advocates, legislators and the public about the most effective way to secure funding for comprehensive tobacco control programs. It was adapted from the 1998 Health Science Analysis Project (HSAP), a series of papers that examined the public health impact of various aspects of federal tobacco legislation proposed in 1998.
