Tobacco Cessation & Prevention

In the United States, the use of tobacco is the main cause of preventable death and disease, so prevention and smoking cessation programs will help people eliminate tobacco addiction, which is very important. The American Lung Association supports federal, state and provincial programs to prevent smoking cigarette users and to prevent children and adults from using tobacco. There are tobacco prevention and smoking cessation programs in all 50 states and the District of Columbia, but funds for these programs are very different. They are usually funded by tobacco settlement funds and tobacco taxes.

All public and private health insurance plans should cover program members' comprehensive non-smoking benefits, including all seven medications recommended by the US Department of Public Health and three types of counseling.
