Honorable Bruce Rauner
Governor Illinois
(Insert Address)
Dear Governor,
The American Lung Association in liaison with the
community of Chicago will hold a rally in support of Cigarette Tax Increase
Bill (CTIB) outside the Illinois’s state Capital Springfield, on Friday, April
24, 2015. It will be a great honour if you take part in this awareness program
scheduled for10 AM. The press conference is expected to take place at 12 noon
later on the same day.
The CTIB advocates for an increase in taxes on all the
tobacco products. Considering the fact that cigarette smoking poses serious
health problems such as cancer (CDC, “Health Effects of Cigarette Smoking”) the
increase in taxes would reduce the use of tobacco especially among the youth in
Illinois. As part of the awareness program, cessation coverage will also be
advocated for. This would include advocating for cessation treatments by
insurance companies and state governments through private and public insurance
plans (American Lung Association, “Preventing Smoking”) Furthermore, the rally
will also focus on the importance of tobacco prevention programs in schools
considering that this is a very vulnerable age. As part of this awareness
program, it will be necessary to for school children to be taught the dangers
of smoking. Additionally, the bill could also include limiting minors’ right to
use to tobacco products. 12.49 billion dollars was spent on advertising tobacco
in 2006 (Emedicinehealth, “cigarette smoking”). As such, money could be spent more
on antismoking advocacy programs.
We have admired your exemplary leadership and commitment
to overarching issues like substance use that mostly affects the young
generation. As such, we would be grateful if you join us to increase awareness
about cigarette smoking on this day to the public.
Thank you for your time
and consideration.
Sincerely,
(Insert Signature)
