No, states are not doing enough to cover smoking cessation treatments according to research conducted by the American Lung Association. Only six states provide comprehensive coverage for Medicaid recipients: Indiana, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Nevada, Oregon and Pennsylvania. Only five states provide comprehensive cessation coverage for state employees: Illinois, Maine, Nevada, North Dakota and New Mexico according to ALA’s research.
