Texas, other states, should increase anti-smoking campaigns, CDC chief says
Bob Garrett, attending the Association of Health Care Journalists conference in Chicago, filed this report:
CHICAGO – States should ramp up their anti-smoking campaigns and snuff the potentially lethal habit, the head of the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Thursday.
In Texas, where nearly 3.3 million people smoke, that should mean passing a statewide ban on smoking in public workplaces and using more cigarette tax revenue to run anti-tobacco TV ads, according to a new agency report on what states are doing to discourage smoking.
