 State of Tobacco Control: 2007 Arizona scored a range of grades from A to F in the American Lung Association’s State of Tobacco Control 2007 report, which highlighted progress in Smoke free Air and detailed the lower than recommended tobacco program spending and ease of youth access to tobacco products. The annual American Lung Association report card grades each of the 50 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico on four key tobacco control policies: smokefree air laws, cigarette tax, tobacco prevention spending and youth access laws. In addition, the report grades federal tobacco control efforts, including: cigarette tax, U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulation of tobacco products, cessation policies and ratification of the international tobacco control treaty. Arizona received a B for cigarette taxes, an A for smoke free air, a B for tobacco prevention spending, and an F for youth access. See Arizona's report here. |
