Idaho's State of Tobacco Control Report
The 6th annual American Lung Association's State of the Tobacco Control: 2007 report was released on January 10, 2008. Idaho received grades in each of the four key areas, but more work is needed to protect the lung health of Idahoans.
The American Lung Association® State of Tobacco Control 2007 report is a comprehensive state-by-state report card that evaluates federal and state tobacco control laws against recognized criteria and translates each state's relative progress into a letter grade of A, B, C, D, or F. A grade of A is assigned to excellent state policy, while an F indicates inadequate state laws.
Idaho grades in the following areas:
- Tobacco Prevention and Control Spending, Grade: F
- Smoke-free Air, Grade: B
- Cigarette Tax, Grade: D
- Youth Access to Tobacco Products, Grade: A
