Tobacco use is still the leading preventable cause of disease and death in the U.S.
42.1 million U.S. adults smoke Tobacco causes nearly 1 in 5 deaths in U.S.
>480,000 deaths/year, >1,300/day
For each death, it is estimated that 30 more suffer tobacco-related illnesses
Annual costs: $133 billion in medical expenses plus $156 billion in lost productivity
Many Americans left unprotected, especially service industry workers
24 states still lack comprehensive smoke-free lawsSlide5

Long-term impact of a comprehensive approach:
Lung and bronchus cancer incidence rates in CARates are per 100,000 and age-adjusted to the 2000 U.S. standard (19 age groups).
* The annual percent change is significantly different from zero (p<0.05).

When tobacco control funding increases, high school smoking decreases

† High school students (grades 9-12) who smoked on 1 or more of the 30 days preceding the survey. Slide20
When cigarette prices increase,
cigarette sales decreaseSource: ImpacTeen Chartbook: Cigarette Smoking Prevalence and Policies in the 50 States.Slide21
Increased tobacco excise taxes
increase price10% increase in cigarette prices
4% drop in adult cigarette consumption*Youth much less likely to start smoking when prices are high
Adjust taxes to offset inflation and tobacco industry attempts to control retail prices
E.g., promotional discounts for retailers who reduce cigarette prices
Tobacco taxes are the single most effective component of a comprehensive tobacco control program

Smoke-free policies save lives
Prevent heart attacks
Up to 17% average reduction in heart attack hospitalizations in places that enact comprehensive smoke-free lawsHelp motivate smokers to quit
Worker safety issue – not “personal nuisance”
All workers deserve equal protection
Only way to protect non-smokers from secondhand smoke
Smoke-free workplace laws don’t hurt business
No trade-off between health and economicsSlide23

How far we have comeSlide25
Aggressive media campaigns work
Media campaigns work to:Reduce youth initiation
Encourage cessation
Increase negative attitudes toward tobacco use
Increase support for policy changeSlide26
The impact of cessation services
Currently: 42.1 million U.S. smokers70% of adult cigarette smokers want to quit
More than 50% try to quit each year, 4 – 6% succeed.
Only 2% call state or national quitlines
Medicaid coverage for cessation varies widely among
states
Tobacco cessation can be achieved through:
Significant tax and price increases
Comprehensive smoke-free policies
Aggressive counter-advertisingSlide27
State and federal policy activities
(2009 – 2013)Excise Tax Increases
25 cigarette tax increases Smoke-Free Policies
26 states and DC have achieved comprehensive status
Federal Legislation
Federal excise tax increase
Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act
Prevent All Cigarette Trafficking (PACT) Act
Affordable Care ActSlide28
