Smoking rates decline in U.S.; some populations more likely to smoke
The U.S. isn’t doing enough to curb smoking for all Americans, according to a new report from the American Lung Association.
The annual "State of Tobacco Control" report, which evaluates state and federal laws and policies to reduce tobacco use, gave the U.S. an A for its anti-tobacco mass media campaigns in 2017, but an F for both tobacco regulation and taxes. The nation earned a C for its health insurance coverage for cessation treatments.
