While Utahs tobacco settlement is a good first step toward better prevention and cessation, much more is needed, said Rick Kinnersley, President and CEO of UHA: Utah Hospitals and Health Systems As- sociation. To use these funds for anything other than for health care, for tobacco education and prevention, for treating tobacco addiction and . for providing health care to children, however worthwhile or seemingly deserving, would simply be inappropriate. The tobacco settlement should be used for the exact purpose it is intended, to build more comprehensive tobacco prevention and cessation policies and programs, stated Kinnersley. According to an opinion poll, the vast majority of Utahns share these feelings. The results of an October 1998 statewide phone survey conducted by Washington D.C. based Mason-Dixo- n PoliticalMedia Research revealed 90 percent of Utahns feel at least half of any settlement money should be used exclusively to combat tobacco addiction. It also showed 92 percent favor efforts to cut youth smoking. -- by Bob & Peggy Migliori GOT YOU CORNERED? The best way to maximize corner in your kitchen is to select cabinets. All stock manufacturers provide an array of base and wall cabinets for corners. Interior fittings offer another way to maximize storage space.
