Kansas lauded for tanning ban amid weak smoking funding
The Cancer Action Network praised Kansas for banning under 18s from indoor tanning facilities after July 1 while criticizing state tobacco prevention funding as only 34 percent of CDC recommendations. Kansas earned praise for a smoke free law and pain management efforts but scored poorly on palliative care access and early cancer detection funding. Maine and Massachusetts met seven of ten benchmarks.
