Health advocacy groups, including the American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network, American Heart Association, American Lung Association in Missouri, Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids, Health Care Foundation of Greater Kansas City and Tobacco-Free Missouri, came out Wednesday against two initiative petitions (IP) hoping to raise tobacco taxes for either transportation or early childhood education.
