Only two states passed comprehensive smokefree laws in 2008, while only three states and the District of Columbia raised their tobacco taxes, according to a new report from the American Lung Association.
Stephen J. Nolan, American Lung Association National Board Chairsaid the results indicated that "the significant momentum previously achieved with the passage of smokefree workplace laws stalled during 2008."
To date, 24 states and the District have passed comprehensive smokefree laws as part of the American Lung Association's Smokefree Air challenge.
