The federal government should no longer bear the costs for the administration or operation of
the no-net-cost tobacco price support program.
There should be greater cooperation between the tobacco growing community and the public
health community to ensure that quality control and health and safety standards are
maintained in the production of tobacco and that industry information and research (for both
foreign and domestic) are made available for public review.
Sufficient funding should be allocated so that tobacco growing states and communities have
options and opportunities to ensure their economic viability into the 21st Century. Funds
should be used for financing pilot projects and programs for economic development, creation
of alternative economic infrastructures, agricultural supplementation and diversification, and
worker retraining. There must be significant involvement of tobacco growing communities
in determining the allocation of these funds. Decision making for plans to enhance the
economic infrastructures of affected communities should be governed primarily through
community-based input. Agricultural-based development in particular ought to be given a
high priority.
Tobacco quota holders and tobacco lease holders should be given the opportunity to have
their quotas compensated at a fair and equitable level. The protection of tenant farmers
should be given special consideration as part of this process to ensure that they are not
adversely affected.
ENACT is committed to working with tobacco farming communities and policy makers in
developing and enacting legislation which promotes and protects the public health of this
nation, while at the same time provides options and opportunities to tobacco farmers and
their communities for rebuilding their economic infrastructures in a less tobacco-dependent
environment.
Public and Grower Support:
Farmers are aware of the current realities of tobacco growth, and the prospect of national tobacco
control legislation, each potentially resulting in the reduction of tobacco consumption and
increasing doubts about the future of their livelihood.
In 1997, the Bowman School of Medicine surveyed 1,200 tobacco growers:
While many farmers believed that they would be growing tobacco ten years from now (80%),
when asked if they would recommend to their children that they continue growing tobacco,
only 60 percent said they would.
