Best practices for comprehensive tobacco control programs, August 1999

In this guidance document, CDC recommends that States establish tobacco control programs that are comprehen- sive, sustainable, and accountable. This document draws upon \u201cbest practices\u201d determined by evidence-based analy- ses of comprehensive State tobacco control programs. Evidence supporting the programmatic recommendations in this guidance document are of two types. Recommendations for chronic disease programs to reduce the burden of tobacco-related diseases, school programs, cessation programs, enforcement, and counter-marketing program ele- ments are based primarily upon published evidence-based practices. Other program categories rely mainly upon the evidence of the efficacy of the large-scale and sustained efforts of two States (California and Massachusetts) that have been funding comprehensive tobacco prevention and control programs using State tobacco excise taxes.Suggested citation: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
