What Tobacco Does to Us
• 440,000 Americans die each year from disease caused by tobacco
• In Ohio, 52 each day• Every pack of cigarettes purchased has an
economic cost of $40.– $33 to the smoker– $5.44 to the smoker’s family– $1.44 to Society (after taxes)
• Ohio health care costs, about $3.4 Billion per year

What’s Deadly?
• Annually, 400,000 tobacco users die
• Annually, 53,000 non tobacco users die from disease caused by second hand smoke
![Page 4: Ohio’s Road to Tobacco Freedom December 2, 2004 by Mike Renner Ohio TUPCF Executive Director](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070418/56815717550346895dc4b5d2/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
The Tobacco Fight
• With this devastation, Ohio joined about 25 other states in suing the tobacco industry in 1997
• After nearly two years of litigation and one previous unsuccessful settlement attempt, Ohio helped finalize the Master Settlement Agreement at the end of 1998.
![Page 5: Ohio’s Road to Tobacco Freedom December 2, 2004 by Mike Renner Ohio TUPCF Executive Director](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070418/56815717550346895dc4b5d2/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Damages
• Like other lawsuits, this one was settled in a manner designed to correct the damage which was the reason for the lawsuit.
• Industry to correct some of its conduct
• Industry to pay damages so Ohio could fix the problems identified in the lawsuit.
• Ohio to receive roughly $400,000,000 per year.

Budget Deficits
• Several years after the MSA, the national economy threw all states into budget deficits
• $350 Million originally scheduled to be used by Ohio for tobacco use reduction, was instead used to close the state budget gap
• Ohio at risk to not clean up the mess that tobacco caused and which the lawsuit fought
![Page 7: Ohio’s Road to Tobacco Freedom December 2, 2004 by Mike Renner Ohio TUPCF Executive Director](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070418/56815717550346895dc4b5d2/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Endowment
• Ohio, unlike any other state, used an endowment concept
• Diverted funds didn’t restrict Ohio’s ability to deal with tobacco use, it has restricted the duration of time Ohio will be able to run tobacco reduction programs.
• Unless Ohio resumes investing MSA dollars into tobacco reduction, Ohio programming will cease in 7 to 10 years.
![Page 8: Ohio’s Road to Tobacco Freedom December 2, 2004 by Mike Renner Ohio TUPCF Executive Director](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070418/56815717550346895dc4b5d2/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Make a Difference
• For whatever duration the Foundation exists, it will offer Ohioans programs to reduce tobacco use and the severe consequences of it.

• Create conditions which protect non tobacco users from deadly effects of Secondhand Smoke.

Cessation
• Without help, Cold Turkey success rate is about 4%
• With Quit Line counseling support, success rate is a little more than 29%
• By adding NRT to counseling, can increase the success rate significantly

Ohio Tobacco Quit Line
• 1-800-QUIT NOW
• 5 pro active counseling sessions
• $4.5 Million marketing effort
• Target = 100 intake calls per day
• Non traditional marketing– Events– Health Care Professionals– Employers – NRT
![Page 14: Ohio’s Road to Tobacco Freedom December 2, 2004 by Mike Renner Ohio TUPCF Executive Director](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070418/56815717550346895dc4b5d2/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

Second Hand Smoke
• No debate over health– Even industry and bar owners concede
harmful to health
• Debate over loss of business
• Debate over right to choose conduct
![Page 16: Ohio’s Road to Tobacco Freedom December 2, 2004 by Mike Renner Ohio TUPCF Executive Director](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070418/56815717550346895dc4b5d2/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Loss of Business
• Studies across America find no effect
• Toledo study– Compared Toledo after ordinance with
Youngstown at same time frame– Compared Toledo with Toledo’s suburbs– Found no measurable economic stress
differences
![Page 17: Ohio’s Road to Tobacco Freedom December 2, 2004 by Mike Renner Ohio TUPCF Executive Director](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070418/56815717550346895dc4b5d2/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Freedom to Choose
The argument: If I own a business and I operate it on property that I own, and if I want to allow smoking on my business premises, and my patrons want it, no meddling, do-gooder, government should have the right to tell me how to run my business. It’s another erosion of basic American freedoms and rights.
![Page 18: Ohio’s Road to Tobacco Freedom December 2, 2004 by Mike Renner Ohio TUPCF Executive Director](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070418/56815717550346895dc4b5d2/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Freedom to Choose
• Another instance of government intrusion
• Sign we are headed toward socialism
• Our Founding Fathers would be rolling over in their graves
![Page 19: Ohio’s Road to Tobacco Freedom December 2, 2004 by Mike Renner Ohio TUPCF Executive Director](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070418/56815717550346895dc4b5d2/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Constitutional History
• 1789 in Philadelphia– Founding fathers drafted our constitution
• 1789 in Philadelphia– Mayor of Philadelphia eliminated all
commerce with New York City
• Cities have, from the beginning of our Republic, taken action to protect the general health of the community
![Page 20: Ohio’s Road to Tobacco Freedom December 2, 2004 by Mike Renner Ohio TUPCF Executive Director](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070418/56815717550346895dc4b5d2/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Hypothetical Bar History
• “If I own the property, I ought to be able to run my business the way I want.”
• Has that been the bar owner’s experience?

Side Effects of Clean Indoor Air Ordinance
• Prevention
• Cessation/relapse

Challenge!
It’s in front of Cleveland now. It’s in front of a number of Cleveland suburbs. The opportunity is now for Cleveland to take a stand. Get involved in the debate!
