WASHINGTON (CNN)  -- Smoking cessation programs make up $75 million of the economic stimulus bill making its way through the Senate, according to Sen. Tom Harkin, D-Iowa, who sponsored the funding.



Sen. Tom Harkin's office says smoking causes $110 billion in health costs each year.



Harkin said the programs were an attempt to bolster the economy by lowering the soaring health-care costs smoking causes each year.



The money will be used to bolster existing anti-smoking campaigns run by the Department of Health and Human Services and to buy new equipment at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which tests the contents of cigarettes.



Harkin's office cited figures that smoking is the leading cause of preventable deaths and causes $110 billion in heath costs every year.



Harkin believes prevention will go a long way to boosting the health of Americans while boosting health of the American economy.  Watch Harkin describe how anti-smoking programs help economy »

The final vote was 244 to 188. No Republicans voted for the bill, while 11 Democrats voted against it.



The Senate is likely to take up the bill next week.
