State of Tobacco Control
The 17th annual American Lung Association "State of Tobacco Control" report evaluates states and the federal government on the proven-effective tobacco control laws and policies necessary to save lives. The report serves as a blueprint for what state and federal leaders must do to eliminate the death and disease caused by tobacco use. This year's report focuses on the failure of states and the federal government to act to fight tobacco use, and the consequences of this, including an epidemic of youth e-cigarette use.
