Summary: The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends that New Hampshire spend $19.2 million a year to have an effective, comprehensive tobacco prevention program.  New Hampshire currently receives $1.1 million a year for tobacco prevention and cessation, which includes both state and federal funds.  This is 5.7% of the CDC's recommendation and ranks New Hampshire 44th among the states in the funding of tobacco prevention programs.  New Hampshire's spending on tobacco prevention amounts to 0.5% of the estimated $235 million in tobacco-generated revenue the state collects each year from settlement payments and tobacco taxes.

Recent Developments: The New Hampshire Comprehensive Cancer Plan Fund allocated $200,000 for the state tobacco prevention and cessation program for FY2009.  Combined with funds from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, total spending on tobacco prevention and cessation for FY2009 will be $1.1 million, which is less than half of the $2.4 million allocated in FY2008.
