Introducing the Iowa Health Initiative
Campaign Highlights
- Iowa has the second highest and fastest rising cancer rates in the United States. Iowa also has the 18th highest adult smoking rate.
- As legislators look for policy solutions to this crisis, we believe that a comprehensive tobacco tax increase should be part of the solution. Tobacco tax increases are one of the most effective ways to reduce smoking and other tobacco use, especially among kids.
- A proposed $1.50 increase in cigarette tax and 50% of wholesale price for e-cigarettes and nicotine pouches can save lives and support economic growth.
