The American Lung Association recently issued its 22nd “State of Tobacco Control” report.
In it, Wisconsin’s efforts to combat and reduce tobacco usage were assessed with two Fs, two Ds, and a B.
The report emphasized the necessity for Wisconsin lawmakers to maintain the state’s indoor air cleanliness law.
This report investigates state and federal policies regarding actions taken to eradicate tobacco use, and it advises implementing proven-effective tobacco control laws and policies to preserve lives.
The current year’s report emphasizes recent actions at the federal level, such as the delay in finalizing regulations to halt the sale of menthol cigarettes and flavored cigars.
It also highlights the procrastination in reviewing all e-cigarette product applications, including those flavors favored by young people.
