The U.S. Department of Health & Human Services' Centers for Disease Control & Prevention issued the following press release:

Greater investments in state tobacco control programs are independently and significantly associated with larger and more rapid declines in adult smoking prevalence, according to a study by researchers at Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and RTI International, an independent nonprofit research institute based in Research Triangle Park, N.C. Researchers were able to quantify the link between comprehensive tobacco control programs and a decrease in adult smoking - observing a decline in prevalence from 29.5 percent in 1985 to 18.6 percent in 2003.
