Campaign Unavailable We're sorry, this alert is no longer available. If you would like to learn more about ways you can take action, please visit American Lung Association of Arizona.The short explanation of this alert was: The fourth annual American Lung Association State of Tobacco Control report has been released. This national report card analyzes state tobacco control laws in four key areas—smoke-free air, tobacco program funding, cigarette excise taxes, and youth access to tobacco. New Mexico scored grades of "D" in cigarette excise tax, "F" in tobacco prevention and control spending, "F" in smoke-free air, and an "F" for youth access to tobacco. New Mexico's tobacco control program needs your help. We must remain steadfast in our vision of a smoke-free New Mexico. At present, 42% of the people in our state benefit from the existence of local clean indoor air ordinances in their communities. Families and people with lung health problems are not subjected to the harmful effects of secondhand smoke in these communities. Shouldn't every New Mexican have the same right?
Please take a moment to send the attached letter to your State Senator, Representative, and Governor Richardson. |
