PUBLIC HEALTH RESPONSE TO TOBACCO USE IN KANSAS

The public health community and businesses have worked together in the Kansas City metro areas to prevent teen smoking by raising the legal age of smoking from 18 to 21. Currently, 22 metro area cities, including 15 in Kansas, have raised the legal age of sale to 21 in an effort led by a coalition that includes business leaders from the Greater Kansas City Chamber of Commerce. The Institute of Medicine projects that if the age of sale were raised now to 21 nationwide, then “there would be approximately 223,000 fewer premature deaths, 50,000 fewer deaths from lung cancer, and 4.2 million fewer years of life lost for those born between 2000 and 2019.”
