When is comes to quitting what states are the best/worst?

The American Lung Association released a report, looking at smoking cessation programs and treatments offered in each state. States were ranked based on a point system, the higher the point total the better the ranking.

Coming in first, with 49 points, was the great state of......Maine! Next in line were North Dakota (45 pts) and Delaware (44 pts). When you someone taking first, that means someone has to be last. The worst state is........Georgia, which got 9 points. Next to the bottom was Louisiana (15 pts) and then Alabama and Maryland (tied at 20 pts).

So where was Wisconsin? Well we were in the middle of the pack, so to speak. We ranked 20th, tied with Pennsylvania (34 pts).

What they found out was that smoking assistance was inconsistent from state-to-state, even from insurance plan-to-insurance plan.

We all know that each person quits for different reasons, and it looks like states feel there are various methods of assistance.
