Iowa fails in anti-smoking efforts, scoring low on funding, taxes, and policies, per a new report.

Iowa has received a failing grade in a report by the American Lung Association on anti-smoking efforts, with specific low scores in funding for tobacco prevention, tobacco taxes, and smoke-free air policies. The state scored a B only for its smoke-free air policies, while failing in areas like funding and tax increases. Similar poor grades were given to Indiana and Kentucky, with both states needing to boost funding for tobacco control and use Juul settlement funds for prevention.
