Tobacco use trends and control strategies in the United States.
The future of U.S. smoking control efforts and for all countries lies in strengthening existing cooperative relationships among smoking control advocates (Coalitions on Smoking or Health) and facilitating linkages among others who have not previously worked together. In this way with numerous Governmental and Non-Governmental organizations converging on the single issue of reducing prevalence, a multiplicative effect is possible. With it comes the realization of a smoke-free U.S. society by the year 2000.
