Tobacco Consequences<br />

There is a lack of tobacco consequence data in <strong>Scott</strong> <strong>County</strong>, as well as for the state of<br />

<strong>Iowa</strong>. Lung cancer death rate is the only indicator that met all requirements for inclusion<br />

in the profile. The lung cancer death rate has decreased slightly from 2003 to 2006 in<br />

both <strong>Scott</strong> <strong>County</strong> and <strong>Iowa</strong>, with the <strong>Scott</strong> <strong>County</strong> rate tending to be lower than the state<br />

rate (Figure 28).<br />
