(type 'American Lung Association' or 'American Cancer Society' in Recipient Name box at link above for taxpayer money that went to these 2 organizations who promote alternative (J&J/RWJF) nicotine products)

The crime is that RWJF and their partner Johnson & Johnson Company profit from the tobacco cessation programs funded by we the taxpayers (Obama's 'stimulus money'). Programs which pay for J & J alternative tobacco products such as Nicoderm, Nicotrol, Nicorette, etc. thru QuitPlans and other programs, and RWJF profits from those same J & J sales as one of the single largest shareholders of J & J stock. 

It's taxpayer theft by RWJF and their grantees.
