  Tobacco businesses spend more on advertising in a single day than 4-7 states and the District of Columbia spend on tobacco prevention in a whole year, one report finds.
  
  The growing distance between your amounts used by states on smoking reduction plans compared to the history amounts cigarette companies are paying to market their products affects progress in reducing youth smoking, in accordance with a of public health agencies.
  
  An annual report called "A Broken Promise to Our Children: The 1998 State Cigarette Negotiation Seven Years Later" was launched by the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Children, American Heart Association, American Cancer Society and American Lung Association.
  
  The multi-state tobacco settlement, signed by the major tobacco companies and 46 states in 1998, calls for approximately $246 million to be settled to the states within the first 25 years for tobacco prevention purposes.

  While the states' reduction efforts can't keep pace with the tobacco industry's marketing, some private companies might be in a position to get the slack.
  
  "Some of the tobacco settlement money might be better spent on products that directly benefit smokers who are trying to quit the habit," said John Chapel, president of Safer Smokes, an organization that provides a smoke called Bravo.
  
  The product has most of the faculties of a normal cigarette with several known carcinogens derived from cigarettes, no tobacco and three key differences: no nicotine.
  
  In fact, Bravo is not required by the Food and Drug Administration to hold the Surgeon General's warning on its packages. That scientifically tested solution encourages smokers to give up the practice gradually as it gives them the knowledge of smoking a cigarette without addictive smoking.
  
  Among the best influences in starting and continuing to light up may be the statement of friends and family smoking.
  
  "If we might get the parents and friends to work with Bravo to give up slowly, we could make a difference in the a long time in reducing our total smoking population," says Dr. Puzant Torigian, founder of Safer Smokes.
