摘要：In the article “Clean Indoor Air Ordinance Coverage in the Appalachian Region of the United States,” Ferketich et al. recommend that clean indoor air laws in certain Appalachian states “should be statewide, because, clearly, leaving the effort to local communities does not result in a large number of strong local CIA ordinances.”¹^(p1317) The authors make a monumental leap in their conclusion that efforts to pass strong statewide smoke-free laws should take priority over local laws in Appalachian states. Their study does not analyze the effectiveness of statewide laws; rather, it only reviews the existence and strength of municipal smoke-free ordinances in six selected Appalachian states.
