美国卫生机构废除了反吸烟方案,引起人们对吸烟和死亡增加的关切。 U.S. health agencies dismantle anti-smoking programs, sparking concerns over increased tobacco use and deaths.

美国卫生与公众服务部撤销了疾控中心和林业发展局的主要禁烟方案,有可能扭转几十年来在降低吸烟率方面取得的进展。 The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has dismantled key anti-smoking programs at the CDC and FDA, potentially reversing decades of progress in reducing smoking rates. 批评者认为,削减,包括取消最高烟草管制者,将损害遏制青年抽烟和吸烟的努力,有可能导致烟草使用率提高,造成更多可预防的死亡。 Critics argue the cuts, which include removing top tobacco regulators, will harm efforts to curb youth vaping and cigarette smoking, potentially leading to higher tobacco use and more preventable deaths. HHS声称这些改变将简化运作, 改善健康, 但公共卫生专家视之为「给大烟草的礼物」。 The HHS claims the changes will streamline operations and improve health, but public health experts see it as a "gift to Big Tobacco."
