Governor Crist Proclaims Tobacco Free Florida Week Beginning February 27
Date:2/18/2009

Florida," says Kim Berfield, Deputy Secretary of the Florida Department of Health. "By combining efforts of professional and collegiate teams, local County Health Departments and other key tobacco prevention stakeholders, we can further extend the reach of the campaign's message."

To counter the advertising efforts of tobacco companies that spend more money on advertising in Florida than in any other state, Tobacco Free Florida's statewide youth prevention advertising campaign will also launch that week, with television, radio, cinema and print ads across the state, encouraging youth to "Be Free" from tobacco.

Smoking is responsible for upwards of 29,000 deaths in Florida each year, and thousands more suffer from cancer, heart disease and other chronic diseases related to tobacco use and second-hand smoke. Nearly one out of every five adults smokes, and 28.8 million packs of cigarettes are bought or smoked by youth in Florida each year.
