目标。 99 号提案在加州香烟税上增加了 25 美分，并规定新收入的 20% 用于烟草教育和预防项目。本文探讨了这些计划的实施情况以及烟草业对 99 号提案方法的回应。十二家烟草公司和协会的政治支出数据是从加州公平政治实践委员会和国务卿政治改革司收集的。 烟草教育支出数据是从州长预算和财政部收集的。结果。自99号提案通过以来，加州烟草业的政治支出增加了10倍，从1985-1986年选举时的790 050美元增加到1991-1992年选举时的7 615 091美元。烟草业对加州立法机构的贡献比对国会的贡献更大。对竞选捐款数据的统计分析表明，加州立法者的政策制定受到烟草业竞选捐款的影响。自1989-1990财政年度以来，国家无视选民的授权，仅将新收入的14.7%用于烟草教育。医疗保健计划收到的资金超出了选民允许的数额。结论。 99 号提案通过后，烟草业在加利福尼亚州的政治活动中变得活跃起来。一个结果可能是，在 1993-1994 财政年度，该州对烟草教育的资金不足了 1.747 亿美元。据估计，到 2000 年，将资金重新用于医疗保健将基本上消除烟草教育运动。
Objectives. Proposition 99 added 25 cents to the California state cigarette tax and mandated that 20% of the new revenues be spent on tobacco education and prevention programs. This paper examines the implementation of these programs and the tobacco industry's response to Proposition 99.Methods. Political expenditure data for twelve tobacco firms and associations were gathered from California's Fair Political Practices Commission and secretary of state's Political Reform Division. Tobacco education expenditure data were collected from Governor's Budgets and the Department of Finance.Results. Since Proposition 99 passed, tobacco industry political expenditures in California have risen 10-fold, from $790 050 in the 1985-1986 election to $7 615 091 in the 1991-1992 election. The tobacco industry is contributing more heavily to the California legislature than to Congress. A statistical analysis of data on campaign contributions indicates that California legislators' policy-making is influenced by campaign contributions from the tobacco industry. Since fiscal year 1989-1990, the state has ignored the voters' mandate and spent only 14.7% of the new revenues to tobacco education. Medical care programs received more money than permitted by the voters.Conclusions. The tobacco industry has become politically active in California following the passage of Proposition 99. One result may be that the state has underfunded tobacco education by $174.7 million through the 1993-1994, fiscal year. The estimated redirection of funds to medical care would essentially eliminate the tobacco education campaign by the year 2000.
