-Cheryl- Posted June 10, 2004 Share Posted June 10, 2004 Elaine, It is good to see atleast one state using the money on the purpose it was intended for. Cheers to the state of Kentucky! But on the other hand, Kentucky is probably the largest producer of tobacco products and has the highest rate of poverty nationwide. Studies show that the lower socioeconomic class has a higher incidence of tobacco use. So, Kentucky shells out quite a bit of money on the non-insured for smoking related health costs.
