Louisiana gets – F’ grade for smoking cessation programs

The state of Louisiana received a failing grade of "F" in several categories evaluating available help for smokers, according to a recent study by the American Lung Association. "While progress is being made in the category of Smokefree Air , the report shows that all statewide partners still have a long way to go in improving the physical and financial health of Louisiana smokers," said Mike Rogers, CEO of Smoking Cessation Trust Management Services.
