Abstract

This chapter discusses the impact of tobacco control campaigns on heart disease mortality and morbidity, focusing on the California tobacco control programme. Smoking reduction is considered the quickest, most effective prevention strategy for heart disease morbidity and mortality. The most effective components of tobacco control programmes are taxation of cigarettes, passage of clean air legislation, and media campaigns focusing on tobacco industry manipulation and second-hand smoke.
