NY Receives Failing Grades in American Lung Association’s 2024 Report on Tobacco Control

The American Lung Association’s 2024 “ State of Tobacco Control ” report, released Wednesday, reveals that New York earned a failing grade for Tobacco Prevention and Control Program Funding, and a D grade for failing to pass statewide legislation to end the sale of all flavored tobacco products in the state.

The 22nd annual report evaluates state and federal policies on actions taken to eliminate tobacco use and recommends proven-effective tobacco control laws and policies to save lives.
