"The report found sharp regional differences in lung cancer rates that appeared to be associated with local legislation, like smoking bans, and social attitudes toward tobacco and smoking. Lung cancer is diagnosed least often in Utah and most often in Kentucky, the report said.

State tobacco control policies appear to have had an enormous impact, the researchers said. In California, the first state to establish a comprehensive statewide tobacco control program, lung cancer death rates among men dropped by 2.8 percent annually on average from 1996 to 2005, twice the decline observed in many Southern and Midwestern states. California was the only state where the incidence of lung cancer among women had decreased.

Lung cancer death rates among women increased in 13 states: Alabama, Arkansas, the Carolinas, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, Mississippi, South Dakota and Tennessee . Tobacco taxes are lower than average in many of these states, the report noted."

	-----News Release----- In 2009, a statewide smoking ban —a top priority for the Kansas Health Policy Authority and many health advocates — passed the Senate, but stalled in the House. http://www.khi.org/s/index.cfm?aid=2162 See the above link to the Kansas Health Institute’s article on the failure of the legislature to make any significant health progress this session, including a “squandered opportunity” to provide a clean indoor air law for the state.
