According to a study published in the American Journal of Public Health, the more states spent on tobacco prevention and cessation programs, the larger the declines in adult smoking. If every state had funded their programs at the levels recommended by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control from 1995 to 2003, there would have been between 2.2 million and 7.1 million fewer smokers in the United States by 2003. The Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids estimates that such smoking declines would have saved between 700,000 and 2.2 million lives and between $20 billion and $67 billion in health care costs.
