American Lung Association reveals
that the US
government has missed out on key chances to ensure that the Americans get
enough medicines as well as counseling for stop smoking. The American Lung
Association report states that there are only a few states in the US
that offer coverage to help people trigger off smoking cessation.
According to Paul Billings, senior vice president of education and advocacy
at American Lung Association, lots of smokers in the US are eager to stop smoking but due to the intricate federal and
state coverage for stop smoking treatments, they are not getting the required
help. He adds that the US federal and state government can provide the much needed
assistance and this will help in minimizing the health burden of tobacco usage.
