The Friday,
November
10,
2000,
Morbidity
and
Mortality
Weekly
Report
(MMWR)
Recommendations
and
Reports released by the Centers
for
Disease
Control
and
Prevention (CDC)
outlines
proven
strategies
for
reducing
exposure
to
second-hand
smoke,
increasing
the
number
of
people
who
quit
using
tobacco,
and
reducing
the
number
of
people
who
start.
The
report
is
part
of
the
Guide
to
Community
Preventive
Services
by
the
Task
Force
on
Community
Preventive
Services,
a
non-federal
public
health
panel,
which
conducted
in-depth
systematic
reviews
on
selected
tobacco
interventions.
The
Task
Force
concluded
that
smoking
bans
and
restrictions
are
the
most
effective
measures
to
reduce
exposure
to
second-hand
smoke;
increasing
the
price
of
tobacco
products
and
conducting
mass
media
campaigns
are
effective
in
reducing
tobacco
use
initiation
by
young
people;
and
increasing
prices,
mass
media
campaigns,
reducing
the
cost
of
tobacco
use
treatment,
and
sponsoring
telephone
quitlines
are
effective
in
increasing
the
number
of
tobacco
users
who
quit.
