People's Election Reform Coalition Report on Tobacco and the 2003 Legislature
People’s Election Reform Coalition Report on Tobacco and the 2003 Legislature How the tobacco industry works to influence legislation in West Virginia The tobacco industry has a single overriding goal: Maintain profits by selling as much product as possible. The industry uses a number of strategies and tactics to accomplish this, including: _ Advertising, marketing, and promotions that maintain the wholesale and retail tobacco business. This includes paying special attention to youth and young adults, women, and other groups that fit user profiles, such as having limited education and limited income. _ Political influence and lobbying focused mostly on the state legislature. _ Partnering with other businesses and organizations to spread influence while staying in the background. This serves to “legitimize” efforts such as opposition to indoor smoking bans, tobacco tax increases, etc. It is in the interests of all West Virginians to reduce tobacco use in the most expedient way possible, due to the high rate of premature death and disability, and the high social and economic costs that tobacco use presents. These burdens are shared by everyone, from losing family members and friends, to the increased costs of health insurance and public deficits. The West Virginia Bureau for Public Health estimates that over 4000 West Virginians die each year from heart disease, cancer, respiratory and other diseases directly caused by smoking. Smoking-related health care costs in West Virginia exceed 800 million dollars per year, which inflates the expenditures for Medicaid, Medicare, Public Employees Insurance, and private health insurance premiums (see Tobacco is Killing and Costing Us, WV Bureau for Public Health, 2002). -

STAGGERS PAPERS OFFER SLICE OF AMERICAN HISTORY As President Gerald R. Ford stood before Congress for the last time and delivered his State of the Union Address in Janu- ary 1977, he reminisced about his first day in Congress in 1949 and recognized the congressmen who had taken office with him twenty-eight years earlier. Only five remained. Among them was Harley 0. Staggers, Democrat from West Virginia. Along with Ford, Staggers witnessed some of the most monu- mental events of the twentieth century-from the Chinese Revo- lution and the Red Scare to the Vietnam War and Watergate. Ford left political life in January 1977, but Staggers continued in Congress for two more terms. When he left office in 1981, Staggers had served for 32 years, longer than any other mem- ber of the U.S. House of Representatives from West Virginia. West Virginia Congressman Harley 0.
