Cigarette taxes, smoke-free air laws and spending on reducing tobacco use are considered key policies in efforts to reduce tobacco use. How does Nebraska measure up? This map shows a comparison for each of these measures, and it compares how these policies have changed over the last ten years in Nebraska.
