No matter what you think of taxes and bans, the evidence in this study points to the fact they are working, and not just in California. Thanks Sagan. It pays to be vigilant.

At least bans and costs and such are (hopefully) causing people to stop or at least decrease their smoking habits!

They write California was the 1st (around year 2000) to implement state-wide smoking controls and has made the greatest progress in reducing tobacco use, 14.5 percent smoked in 1997 compared to 11.4 percent in 2006. The incidence of lung cancer in California declined the most of any state in women, and tied for 2nd in men.(table 5) Thanks Good question, Dr. J.
