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 Rhode Island.

The short explanation of this alert was:

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.  Rhode Island scored grades of  "A" in cigarette  tax, "F" in tobacco prevention and control spending, "A" in smokefree air and a "C" for youth access to tobacco.

Rhode Island has made positive strides in tobacco policy and but there's room for improvement.

Email Governor Carcieri and ask that he support funding for tobacco prevention and treatment.
