Colorado gets a big F for its lack of programs to help people quit smoking but an A for smoke-free air in restaurants and bars, according to a report card released Monday from the American Lung Association.
The state Medicaid program is flawed because it covers only one attempt to quit smoking, even though it can take up to seven attempts for many people, the association said. Also, the state program covers individual counseling only for pregnant women.
Colorado got a D for its cigarette tax rate, which the association says is too low.
