Massachusetts has received mixed reviews on its tobacco control efforts from the American Lung Association.
The association’s annual report card praised the state’s smoke-free workplace laws and its ban on flavored tobacco, giving these two issues an “A”. The state received a “B” for its tobacco taxes and access to cessation services.
However, Massachusetts got a failing grade of “F” on funding prevention programs, which the state allocated more than $8 million for this year. The association said that is not enough.
