The Fond du Lac County Tobacco Prevention and Control coordinator says a new report that shows cigarette sales in Wisconsin plummeting over the past 20 years shows that prevention efforts have paid off. Johanna Brotz says higher taxes and a statewide smoking ban have had a significant impact. The number of packs of cigarettes purchased in the state dropped from 420 million in 2001 to just under 193 million in 2022.
