The annual American Lung Association State of Tobacco Control 2007 report has been released.  This national report card analyzes state tobacco control laws in four key areas—smokefree air, tobacco control program funding, cigarette  taxes and youth access to tobacco.  Connecticut scored grades of  "B" in cigarette  tax, "F" in tobacco prevention and control spending, "B" in smokefree air and an "A" for youth access to tobacco.

Connecticut has made strides in tobacco policy,  but there's room for improvement in the area of tobacco prevention and control funding, specifically, investing in tobacco treatment.

Sign the petition to support funding for tobacco prevention and control efforts in Connecticut.
