Pennsylvania is once again receiving poor marks for its efforts to reduce and prevent tobacco use.
According to the 24th annual report by the American Lung Association, Pennsylvania received three Fs and two D grades.
The association says that state lawmakers need to focus on maintaining programs that focus on tobacco control and prevention, especially given that federal efforts were dramatically decreased last year.
These federal actions include the virtual elimination of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) Office on Smoking and Health, as well as major staffing cuts to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) Center for Tobacco Products.
