Tobacco cessation quitlines: An evolving mainstay for an enduring cessation support infrastructure
Hacker KA , Kang JY . Am J Prev Med 2021 60 (3) S185-S187 TOBACCO USE CONTINUES TO COMPROMISE THE HEALTH AND WELL-BEING OF OUR NATION | Although U.S. cigarette smoking prevalence is the lowest it has been in more than a half century,1 the human and financial toll remains unacceptably high. Cigarette smoking is the leading cause of preventable death and disease and, each year, is responsible for >480,000 deaths in the U.S.2 About 34 million U.S. adults currently smoke cigarettes, and smoking-related death and disease cost the nation >$300 billion each year.2,3 Importantly, marked disparities with regard to smoking persist across population groups, with disproportionately higher burden among American Indian and Alaska Natives; lesbian, gay, and bisexual adults; people of lower SES; and those with behavioral health conditions.4 |
State preemption: Impacts on advances in tobacco control
Kang JY , Kenemer B , Mahoney M , Tynan MA . J Public Health Manag Pract 2020 26 Suppl 2 S54-s61 CONTEXT: Policy is an effective tool for reducing the health harms caused by tobacco use. State laws can establish baseline public health protections. Preemptive legislation at the state level, however, can prohibit localities from enacting laws that further protect their citizens from public health threats. APPROACH: Preemptive state tobacco control laws were assessed using the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's State Tobacco Activities Tracking and Evaluation System. Based on the assessments, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention quantified the number of states with certain types of preemptive tobacco control laws in place. In addition, 4 different case examples were presented to highlight the experiences of 4 states with respect to preemption. DISCUSSION: Tracking and reporting on preemptive state tobacco control laws through the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's State Tobacco Activities Tracking and Evaluation System provide an understanding of the number and scope of preemptive laws. Case examples from Hawaii, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Washington provide a detailed account of how preemption affects tobacco control governance at state and local levels within these 4 states. |
