Section 6-12-1 Legislative findings. The Legislature of Alabama finds as follows: (1) Cigarette
smoking presents serious public health concerns to the state and to the citizens of the state.
The Surgeon General has determined that smoking causes lung cancer, heart disease, and other
serious diseases, and that there are hundreds of thousands of tobacco-related deaths in the

(3) Under these programs, the state pays millions of dollars each year to provide medical
assistance for these persons for health conditions associated...
