State Receives Failing Marks On Tobacco Control

The American Lung Association’s annual State of Tobacco Control report has given Wisconsin failing marks. 

The report cites poor prevention funding, limited access to quitting services, and weak efforts on flavored tobacco products.  The state also received a D for tobacco taxes and a B for smokefree workplace laws.  Lung Association leaders are urging lawmakers to raise tobacco taxes and increase the legal age to buy tobacco from 18 to 21.
