Tobacco use is a major threat to health. While a smaller proportion of the population uses tobacco currently than in previous decades, tobacco accounts for almost half a million deaths per year in the United States. The Prevention Research Center (PRC) has carried out research on tobacco use as it relates to laws, policy and availability.
