Can you please tll me what RWJF is?

I will add my two cents.  The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation has almost 50 states in their pockets.

When a state signs on to control, ban, restrict people who smoke and help to raise the taxes on cigarettes, the bigger the grant money the state will receive from the RWJ Foundation.

I did research on this.  Maine is one of the states in the pocket.  Maine went completely smoke free in all health care facilities, to include hospitals.  It was within a year and a half that the local hospital received a big MRI machine and were in the process of remodeling.

They chopped off the heads of their staff, patients and visitors that smoke for blood money.  The following map is old, but the blue states are the ones that are receiving huge grants from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation:

Thank you very much. Your post was very helpful. So the state receives grant money from the RWJ Foundation for cigarrette bans??? I should have expected as much. I was wondering why so many states were RUSHING to ban smokes. IT WAS THE $$$$$$$$$. Now it makes sense.
