Explain the model for tobacco control in the U.S
Tobacco control has been the work of a variety of disciplines: health care, public health, education, law enforcement, substance abuse, media, and business. It has been the work of coalitions, nonprofits, groups of parents, state legislators, lobbyists, researchers, chief executive officers, insurers, and many more. Tobacco use has truly been addressed through multilevel interventions that have reached across population segments. Some have called it a model to be applied to other population-level improvements in health behaviors and health status. Tobacco control efforts began with awareness and education interventions, progressed to behavioral and social interventions, and along the way has included numerous policy actions. Individuals learned about the ill effects and the addictive nature of tobacco; individuals were taught methods to quit, including involving the support of others; institutions encouraged and resourced members to quit, adopted policies that restricted tobacco use, and built norms around tobacco; and organizations developed policy statements on use and advocated for change. Governments implemented clean air policies, taxed tobacco, restricted advertising, and regulated retail sales. This widened system approach to tobacco control has had documented success.?
