NEW MEXICO ISN’T DOING ENOUGH TO CUT DOWN ON TOBACCO USE. THAT ACCORDING TO A NEW REPORT FROM THE AMERICAN LUNG ASSOCIATION. FEDERAL HEALTH OFFICIALS RECOMMEND STATES SPEND AROUND 23-MILLION DOLLARS ON TOBACCO CONTROL PROGRAMS, BUT THE LUNG ASSOCIATION SAYS NEW MEXICO SPENDS LESS THAN SEVEN MILLION.
THAT GETS THE STATE AN “F” GRADE. NEW MEXICO GETS “D’S” FOR TOBACCO TAXES AND ACCESS TO SMOKING CESSATION SERVICES.
