Capito Announces More Than $1.2 Million for West Virginia Tobacco Control Program
WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Senator Shelley Moore Capito (R-W.Va.), Ranking Member of the Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies, today announced $1,229,006 from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) for the West Virginia State Tobacco Control Program.
“The HHS funding announced today allows us to address tobacco use in our state and improve the health of West Virginians. This funding will help support individuals looking to quit the usage of tobacco products, and provide resources to prevent our youth from using tobacco and nicotine alternatives in the first place. As a nation, we have seen success in reducing tobacco use, and I look forward to seeing similar results in West Virginia thanks to funding like this,” Ranking Member Capito said.
