This monograph is the eleventh volume in the Smoking and Tobacco Control series released by the National Cancer Institute (NCI). The National Association of County and City Health Officials (NACCHO) and the National Association of Local Boards of Health (NALBOH) are working with NCI in disseminating findings from this important publication. NACCHO is a nonprofit membership organization that serves all of the nearly 3,000 local public health agencies (LPHAs) in the nation's cities, counties, townships, and districts. The organization provides local health departments with education, information, research, and technical assistance on a variety of topics. It also facilitates partnerships among local, state, and federal agencies in order to promote and strengthen public health. NALBOH is an organization that represents the interests of local boards of health and assists those boards in assuring the health of the community. NALBOH enhances and supports all 3,200 local health boards across the country by providing linkages, networks, education, and training. It is also committed to promoting health and effective public health policy at all levels of government and also to strengthening the ability of health boards to develop tobacco control policy efforts. NACCHO and NALBOH constituents have unique roles in tobacco prevention and control. They often represent the local government infrastructure, and as such, they can play leadership roles in local policy development, implementation, and enforcement. For years, tobacco control legislation enacted at the city and county levels were much more stringent than those enacted at the federal or state level. However, few local communities were involved in implementing and managing actual public health programs to reduce tobacco use. This was seen primarily as a national or state responsibility. Fortunately, local communities have become more involved in recent years. This trend has been supported mainly by LPHAs, and both NACCHO and NALBOH have helped local communities become more involved in the development of public health policy.

The adoption of local ordinances regulating the use or sale of tobacco represents an extraordinary social trend in the United States. Although such laws were virtually unheard of just a decade ago, hundreds of cities and counties across this country have taken aggressive action to control smoking in public settings as well as making it more difficult for minors to obtain tobacco. Major Local Tobacco Control Ordinances in the United States provides clear documentation of the extent to which local com munities are enacting legislation to restrict or severely curtail tobacco use. The monograph also represents a social barometer regarding the seriousness with which communities view the smoking problem and the range of remedial actions taken to reduce tobacco use through socially responsible public policies. These ordinances are not based on social whim, however, but are based on decades of scientific research, which has increasingly documented the health consequences of tobacco for users and non-users alike. Since the early 1960's, medical science has left no doubt about the deadly nature of tobacco use, especially the practice of cigarette smoking. The scientific data base establishing a causal connection between smoking and increased death rates from various cancers, cardiovascular diseases, chronic obstructive lung diseases, fetal distress, and other chronic and debilitating conditions is truly staggering. Between 1960 and 1990, more than 60,000 scientific citations appeared in the worldwide literature linking cigarettes and other forms of tobacco use to these adverse health outcomes. Smoking is a health hazard in its own right, but smoking potentiates the risks of several environmental and occupational carcinogens. More than 400,000 premature deaths annually occur in the United States directly attributed to the effects of cigarette smoking. Of course, we should recall that even smokeless tobacco is a health hazard. Such high levels of death and disability affect us all, however, whether we smoke or not. In a comprehensive study conducted by the Congress' Office of Technology Assessment in 1985, it was estimated that cigarette smoking alone cost this Nation upwards of $95 billion annually. Given the spiraling increase in costs for both acute and long-term health care over just the last few years, such costs would be substantially greater in 1993 dollars. As a Nation, we simply cannot afford to pay for the health care costs associated with smoking. Major Local Tobacco Control Ordinances in the United States should also provide a tangible boost for local tobacco control policy development. It contains a comprehensive review of local and State tobacco control legislation, trends in tobacco control ordinances, and model laws for reducing both nonsmokers' exposure to ETS and youth access to tobacco products. It is, in short, a call to action to all who wish to improve the health of our Nation through reasonable and prudent public health policies that reduce tobacco addiction among our young and protect nonsmokers from the documented hazards of environmental tobacco smoke. Nevertheless, true prevention of smoking-related illnesses must depend on individual responsibility and action. Each of us as individuals must do our part.

Tobacco use is the leading cause of preventable death in United States, causing more than 440,000 deaths annually and resulting in $193 billion in health-related economic losses each year-$96 billion in direct medical costs and $97 billion in lost productivity. Since the first U.S. Surgeon General's report on smoking in 1964, more than 29 Surgeon General's reports, drawing on data from thousands of studies, have documented the overwhelming and conclusive biologic, epidemiologic, behavioral, and pharmacologic evidence that tobacco use is deadly. This evidence base links tobacco use to the development of multiple types of cancer and other life-threatening conditions, including cardiovascular and respiratory diseases. Smoking accounts for at least 30 percent of all cancer deaths, and 80 percent of lung cancer deaths. Despite the widespread agreement on the dangers of tobacco use and considerable success in reducing tobacco use prevalence from over 40 percent at the time of the 1964 Surgeon General's report to less than 20 percent today, recent progress in reducing tobacco use has slowed. An estimated 18.9 percent of U.S. adults smoke cigarettes, nearly one in four high school seniors smoke, and 13 percent of high school males use smokeless tobacco products. In recognition that progress in combating cancer will not be fully achieved without addressing the tobacco problem, the National Cancer Policy Forum of the Institute of Medicine (IOM) convened a public workshop, Reducing Tobacco-Related Cancer Incidence and Mortality, June 11-12, 2012 in Washington, DC. In opening remarks to the workshop participants, planning committee chair Roy Herbst, professor of medicine and of pharmacology and chief of medical oncology at Yale Cancer Center and Smilow Cancer Hospital, described the goals of the workshop, which were to examine the current obstacles to tobacco control and to discuss potential policy, outreach, and treatment strategies that could overcome these obstacles and reduce tobacco-related cancer incidence and mortality. Experts explored a number of topics, including: the changing demographics of tobacco users and the changing patterns of tobacco product use; the influence of tobacco use on cancer incidence and cancer treatment outcomes; tobacco dependence and cessation programs; federal and state level laws and regulations to curtail tobacco use; tobacco control education, messaging, and advocacy; financial and legal challenges to tobacco control efforts; and research and infrastructure needs to support tobacco control strategies, reduce tobacco related cancer incidence, and improve cancer patient outcomes. Reducing Tobacco-Related Cancer Incidence and Mortality summarizes the workshop.

The health and economic costs of tobacco use in military and veteran populations are high. In 2007, the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) and the Department of Defense (DoD) requested that the Institute of Medicine (IOM) make recommendations on how to reduce tobacco initiation and encourage cessation in both military and veteran populations. In its 2009 report, Combating Tobacco in Military and Veteran Populations, the authoring committee concludes that to prevent tobacco initiation and encourage cessation, both DoD and VA should implement comprehensive tobacco-control programs.

The nation has made tremendous progress in reducing tobacco use during the past 40 years. Despite extensive knowledge about successful interventions, however, approximately one-quarter of American adults still smoke. Tobacco-related illnesses and death place a huge burden on our society. Ending the Tobacco Problem generates a blueprint for the nation in the struggle to reduce tobacco use. The report reviews effective prevention and treatment interventions and considers a set of new tobacco control policies for adoption by federal and state governments. Carefully constructed with two distinct parts, the book first provides background information on the history and nature of tobacco use, developing the context for the policy blueprint proposed in the second half of the report. The report documents the extraordinary growth of tobacco use during the first half of the 20th century as well as its subsequent reversal in the mid-1960s (in the wake of findings from the Surgeon General). It also reviews the addictive properties of nicotine, delving into the factors that make it so difficult for people to quit and examines recent trends in tobacco use. In addition, an overview of the development of governmental and nongovernmental tobacco control efforts is provided. After reviewing the ethical grounding of tobacco control, the second half of the book sets forth to present a blueprint for ending the tobacco problem. The book offers broad-reaching recommendations targeting federal, state, local, nonprofit and for-profit entities. This book also identifies the benefits to society when fully implementing effective tobacco control interventions and policies.
