The federal Tobacco Demand Reduction Strategy was introduced in 1994 to minimize any increase in tobacco consumption, increase the priority of tobacco control as a public health measure, and increase public knowledge of the dangers associated with tobacco use & second-hand smoke. This report presents results of an evaluation of three components of the Strategy: the Public Education & Awareness Program, which was intended to build knowledge about tobacco consumption & control issues; the Community Action Initiative Program, whose goal was to support & strengthen the capacity of communities & non-profit organizations to address tobacco-related issues; and access to information about tobacco reduction & control at the National Clearinghouse on Tobacco & Health. The findings of evaluations of these three interventions are presented & discussed in terms of their achievements in relation to stated objectives.

The federal Tobacco Demand Reduction Strategy was introduced in 1994 to minimize any increase in tobacco consumption, increase the priority of tobacco control as a public health measure, and increase public knowledge of the dangers associated with tobacco use & second-hand smoke. This report presents results of part III of an evaluation of the Strategy. It comments on the usefulness of the results of smoking-related surveys released in 1996; compares their results with earlier surveys as appropriate; provides information, based on survey findings, on the changes in the prevalence of smoking, cigarette consumption, and awareness & attitudes about health risks of smoking & exposure to second-hand smoke; and examines whether changes in such changes could be attributed to the Strategy. The report also includes an examination of the relationship between provincial cigarette sales, real cigarette prices, and real per-capita personal disposable income.

The health and economic costs of tobacco use in military and veteran populations are high. In 2007, the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) and the Department of Defense (DoD) requested that the Institute of Medicine (IOM) make recommendations on how to reduce tobacco initiation and encourage cessation in both military and veteran populations. In its 2009 report, Combating Tobacco in Military and Veteran Populations, the authoring committee concludes that to prevent tobacco initiation and encourage cessation, both DoD and VA should implement comprehensive tobacco-control programs.

Drug overdose, driven largely by overdose related to the use of opioids, is now the leading cause of unintentional injury death in the United States. The ongoing opioid crisis lies at the intersection of two public health challenges: reducing the burden of suffering from pain and containing the rising toll of the harms that can arise from the use of opioid medications. Chronic pain and opioid use disorder both represent complex human conditions affecting millions of Americans and causing untold disability and loss of function. In the context of the growing opioid problem, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) launched an Opioids Action Plan in early 2016. As part of this plan, the FDA asked the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine to convene a committee to update the state of the science on pain research, care, and education and to identify actions the FDA and others can take to respond to the opioid epidemic, with a particular focus on informing FDA's development of a formal method for incorporating individual and societal considerations into its risk-benefit framework for opioid approval and monitoring.

The nation has made tremendous progress in reducing tobacco use during the past 40 years. Despite extensive knowledge about successful interventions, however, approximately one-quarter of American adults still smoke. Tobacco-related illnesses and death place a huge burden on our society. Ending the Tobacco Problem generates a blueprint for the nation in the struggle to reduce tobacco use. The report reviews effective prevention and treatment interventions and considers a set of new tobacco control policies for adoption by federal and state governments. Carefully constructed with two distinct parts, the book first provides background information on the history and nature of tobacco use, developing the context for the policy blueprint proposed in the second half of the report. The report documents the extraordinary growth of tobacco use during the first half of the 20th century as well as its subsequent reversal in the mid-1960s (in the wake of findings from the Surgeon General). It also reviews the addictive properties of nicotine, delving into the factors that make it so difficult for people to quit and examines recent trends in tobacco use. In addition, an overview of the development of governmental and nongovernmental tobacco control efforts is provided. After reviewing the ethical grounding of tobacco control, the second half of the book sets forth to present a blueprint for ending the tobacco problem. The book offers broad-reaching recommendations targeting federal, state, local, nonprofit and for-profit entities. This book also identifies the benefits to society when fully implementing effective tobacco control interventions and policies.

The report "Monitoring tobacco use and prevention policies" tracks the status of the tobacco epidemic and interventions to combat it. The report finds that more countries have implemented tobacco control policies, ranging from graphic pack warnings and advertising bans to no smoking areas. About 4.7 billion people - 63% of the world's population - are covered by at least one comprehensive tobacco control measure, which has quadrupled since 2007 when only 1 billion people and 15% of the world's population were covered.
