AB  - Tobacco use, particularly cigarette smoking, continues to be the leading cause of 
      preventable morbidity and mortality in the United States. An important public 
      health issue, this has been the focus of much study. Several organizations have 
      issued statements and recommendations for handling this issue. Reducing tobacco 
      use is a key component of Healthy People 2010, the national action plan for 
      improving the health of all Americans. The Surgeon General, Agency for Healthcare 
      Research and Quality (AHRQ) and the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) 
      have put forth valuable guidelines concerning preventive services in the primary 
      care setting, and programs such as Putting Prevention into Practice (PPIP) and 
      state based initiatives have aimed to implement them. States that have taken 
      these messages to heart and acted upon them to fully implement these preventive 
      measures and interventions have had significant success, most notably Oregon, 
      California and Massachusetts. In less than a decade, the Massachusetts Tobacco 
      Control Program has evolved into one of the leading public health initiatives of 
      our time. Perhaps by learning from their successes we can bring about a similar 
      change in the state of Oklahoma.
