Friedman Foundation praised the work of independent indepen-dent researchers, who found that the creation of a tuition tax credit program could save Utah taxpayers as much as $1.9 billion, and highlighted the growing number of studies that are discovering similar findings. The researchers from Utah State University and Southern South-ern Utah University, commissioned com-missioned by the Utah Legislature, Legis-lature, analyzed the economic econom-ic impact of tuition tax credits cred-its on Utah schools and measured mea-sured the potential demand among parents for the program. pro-gram. They anticipate that tuition tax credits will save the state between $26.4 million mil-lion and $ 144.3 million annually. annu-ally. Over 13 years, total savings sav-ings will be between $343 million and $1.9 billion. "It just makes plain economic eco-nomic sense that competition leads to a better product and a more efficient and equitable equi-table system of school financing," fi-nancing," Robert C. Enlow, executive director of the Milton Mil-ton and Rose D. Friedman Foundation, said. "The study commissioned by the Utah Legislature reaffirms what weive seen across the country coun-try n school choice ensures that taxpayer dollars are used more effectively." Recent studies on the economic eco-nomic benefits and savings of school choice include: Clemson University professor pro-fessor Cotton Lindsay found More students statewide are working towards being tobacco free Approximately 50 percent more students and schools are participating this year in the American Lung Association Associa-tion of Utah (ALAU) Not On Tobacco (N-O-T) program as compared with last year. N-O-T is a school-based smoking smok-ing cessation program. "This year is off to a good start for smoking cessation," said Lisa Moss, ALAU pro- fram director. "Last year we ad approximately 70 students stu-dents enroll and complete the program. This year we already al-ready have more than 100 students enrolled. With more classes slated to begin in January Jan-uary we expect that number to mcrease to more than 200." One reason for the rise in student attendance is the that an education tax credit program in South Carolina would save the state nearly $594 million by its fifth year. The Fiscal Impacts of School Choice in New Hampshire Hamp-shire by Brian Gottlob of PolEcon Research, which found that a school voucher program could save the state nearly $9 million in the first year. A study by Dr. Susan Aud, Friedman Foundation Senior Fellow, which found that a school voucher in Arizona Ari-zona worth $3,500 could save the state hundreds of thousands of dollars every year. "We know school choice is better for students and parents. par-ents. This study shows that it is better for taxpayers as well," Enlow said.

Fourteen schools, across the state, offer the smoking cessation program to their students compared with only 10 schools last year. However, Moss notes that they expect that approximately approx-imately 20 additional schools will offer the class beginning in January. The N-O-T program, funded fund-ed by the master settlement agreement, is a 10-week program pro-gram designed to help students stu-dents set realistic goals to quit smoking and develop life management skills to help them avoid the habit in the future. The program not only uses age-appropriate language and issues, it also uses gender-sensitive curriculum since girls and boys start and quit smoking for different reasons. While the N-O-T program was originally designed de-signed for teens, ALAU facilitators facil-itators have tailored the material ma-terial to meet the needs of younger smokers who are still in elementary school. "By going into the schools, the N-O-T program fills an unmet need. Thousands of Utah youth and teens start smoking everyday and the N-O-T program is available to those who want to quit in a positive, safe and conve-' conve-' nient place," said Moss. The N-O-T program, which has been in Utah schools for four years, is under the direction di-rection of ALAU's Tobacco Committee. Dr. Shellie Ring, a pediatrician and ALAU board president-elect said, "Kids who smoke become adults who smoke, leading to long-term and serious adverse ad-verse health consequences. The road to quitting is difficult diffi-cult and experience has taught us that this multiple strategy approach works best." One N-O-T graduate agrees, and credits the program pro-gram as life altering. "I am so grateful for what the N-O-T program has done for me. It has helped me decide to quit smoking and I did it cold turkey. I wanted to save my life before it was too late. I know it could be too late already, al-ready, but I can always hope." As a behavior modification Erogram, the N-O-T program elps teens do more than beat their smoking habit. Last year 73 percent of the students who completed the Erogram reported feeling etter about themselves and 71 percent said they handled stress better as a result of attending at-tending N-O-T. The teens also reported that by the end of the program they are doing do-ing more exercises, earning better grades, going to school more often and eating healthier. Organized in 1916, the American Lung Association of Utah is the oldest voluntary volun-tary non-profit health agency in the state of Utah. Its mission statement is, "To improve health and prevent pulmonary disease among the general public through public and professional education, edu-cation, community service programs and public policy initiatives directed to priority audiences."
