144.391 PUBLIC POLICY.
The legislature finds that:
(1) smoking causes premature death, disability, and chronic disease, including cancer and
heart disease, and lung disease;
(2) smoking related diseases result in excess medical care costs; and
(3) smoking initiation occurs primarily in adolescence.
The legislature desires to prevent young people from starting to smoke, to encourage and
assist smokers to quit, and to promote clean indoor air.
