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.
