State of Wisconsin
Department of Health Services
Madison

To the Honorable, the Legislature:
The Department of Health Services is pleased to submit this 2009 Annual Report to the Governor and the Legislature on our tobacco cessation efforts. The report is required by s.
255.15 (4).
Tobacco kills 8,000 Wisconsin citizens every year and costs the state nearly $4 billion in annual health care expenses and lost worker productivity. The Department's Tobacco Prevention and Control Program (TPCP) is responsible for investing in evidence-based strategies within a comprehensive framework to effectively reduce tobacco use and exposure.
Wisconsin continued its success during 2009 in preventing youth tobacco use and promoting tobacco addiction treatment, the elimination of tobacco-related disparities and exposure to secondhand smoke.
Tobacco use is a treatable addiction that kills more people each year in Wisconsin than alcohol, Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS), car crashes, illegal drug use, murder and suicide combined. Every dollar invested in the state's comprehensive tobacco control program yields dividends in health care savings. The Department and its partners will continue to work to reduce the burden of tobacco in Wisconsin.
Sincerely,
Karen E. Timberlake
Secretary
Referred to committee on Health and Healthcare Reform.
