Stronger Tobacco Control Requested

As the ’25 legislative session begins, the American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network urges Michigan legislators to improve cancer care access and increase funding for tobacco control. The network requests an additional $5 million dollars for tobacco prevention, addressing nearly 32% of cancer deaths linked to smoking. They also advocate for copay accumulator legislation to help patients afford treatments. With over 64,000 new cancer diagnoses last year, lawmakers can reduce future cases by investing in these programs. These efforts could help prevent more Michiganders from hearing the dreaded cancer diagnosis.
