TM State Investment in Tobacco Control American Journal of Public Health 2/08: Impact of Tobacco Control Programs on Adult Smoking –Peer-reviewed study examined state tobacco prevention and cessation funding levels from 1995 to 2003. –Found the greater investment states made in their state tobacco program, the larger and more rapid declines achieved in adult smoking prevalence – even when controlling for other factors.

6. TM State Investment in Tobacco Control Campaign for Tobacco Free Kids Response 2/08: –The researchers also calculated that if Ohio had funded its program at the levels recommended by CDC during that period, there would have been between 14,328 and 35,665 fewer smokers in the state by 2003…. –Such smoking declines would have saved between 4,585 and 11,413 lives…. –As well as between $136.1 M and $338.8 M in health care costs.

16. Wednesday, June 10, 2009 National Conference on Tobacco or Health Using Tobacco Control to Alter Chronic Disease Prevention Paradigm for Local Health Departments Tobacco control demonstrated over the past 15 years how we could change social norms and behaviors that cause chronic diseases... we used a whole host of strategies such as laws, media, and changing environments where we work, play, and go to school. This same framework can be used to reduce other modifiable risk factors for chronic diseases such as poor nutrition and lack of physical activity. Poki Stewart Namkung, M.D., M.P.H. Health Officer, Santa Cruz County Health Services Agency, Santa Cruz, CA Our challenge is to make policy makers and the public appreciate the extraordinary return on investment if we create an environment dedicated to preventing chronic disease.
