“…SimSmoke projects a maximum 11% reduction in prevalence rates with all policies fully implemented and with strong enforcement and media publicity [25]. Work site laws have the largest maximum effect, 7%, with restaurant laws producing a 2% effect, and laws covering schools and other places each having about a 1% effect.…”

“…Clean air laws HP2010 sets goals for seven types of smoke-free laws for the 50 states and Washington, DC: private workplaces, public workplaces, restaurants, transportation, day care centers, retail stores, and tribes. The clean air policy module in SimSmoke examines the effect of four types of laws: work site, restaurant, school, and other public places [25]. Unlike the HP2010 goals, SimSmoke does not distinguish public from private worksites nor public transportation and retail stores within ''other public places.''…”

SummaryTobacco control policies are examined utilizing a simulation model for California, the state with the longest running comprehensive program. We assess the impact of the California Tobacco Control Program (CTCP) and surrounding price changes on smoking prevalence and smoking-attributable deaths. Modeling begins in 1988 and progresses chronologically to 2004, and considers four types of policies (taxes, mass media, clean air laws, and youth access policies) independently and as a package.The model is validated against existing smoking prevalence estimates. The difference in trends between predicted smoking rates from the model and other commonly used estimates of smoking prevalence for the overall period were generally small. The model also predicted some important changes in trend, which occurred with changes in policy.The California SimSmoke model estimates that tobacco control policies reduced smoking rates in California by an additional 25% relative to the level that they would have been if policies were kept at their 1988 level. By 2004, the model attributes over 60% of the reduction to price increases, over 25% of the overall effect to media policies, 10% to clean air laws, and only a small percent to youth access policies. The model estimates that over 5,000 lives will be saved in the year 2010 alone as a result of the CTCP and industry-initiated price increases, and that over 50,000 lives were saved over the period 1988-2010. Tobacco control policies implemented as comprehensive tobacco control strategies have significantly impacted smoking rates. Further tax increases should lead to additional lives saved, and additional

“…108 Smoking bans in workplaces can reduce prevalence rates by up to 20 percent and reduce the quantity of cigarettes smoked among continuing smokers by five to 25 percent. 108,109 These policies are most effective when strong social norms against smoking help to make smoking restrictions self-enforcing.…”

On current consumption patterns, about 400 million adults worldwide will be killed by smoking between 2010 and 2050. Most of these deaths will occur among smokers currently alive. At least half will die at ages 30-69 years, losing decades of productive life. Smoking-attributable mortality has fallen sharply in high-income countries but will rise globally unless today's smokers, most of whom live in lowand middle-income countries, quit smoking before or during middle age. The single most important intervention to raise cessation rates is a large increase in taxes. Tripling excise taxes on tobacco would raise cessation rates and deter smoking initiation. Higher taxes, regulations on smoking and information for consumers could avoid at least 115 million smoking deaths in the next few decades, including at least 25 million cancer deaths and 50 million vascular deaths.
