In November 1996, residents of Oregon approved a ballot measure increasing the cigarette tax by 30 cents (to 68 cents per pack). The measure stipulated that 10% of the additional tax revenue be allocated to the Oregon Health Division (OHD) to develop and implement a tobacco-use prevention program. In 1997, OHD created Oregon's Tobacco Prevention and Education Program (TPEP), a comprehensive, community-based program modeled on the successful tobacco-use prevention programs in California and Massachusetts. To assess the effects of the tax increase and TPEP in Oregon, OHD evaluated data on the number of packs of cigarettes taxed before (1993-1996) and after (1997-1998) the ballot initiative and implementation of the program. Oregon's results also were compared with national data. This report summarizes the results of the analysis, which indicate that consumption of cigarettes in Oregon declined substantially after implementation of the excise tax and TPEP and exceeded the national rate of decline.
1996年11月，俄勒冈州居民通过了一项投票措施，将香烟税提高了30美分（至每包68美分）。该措施规定，额外税收收入的10%将分配给俄勒冈州卫生部门（OHD），用于制定和实施一项烟草使用预防计划。1997年，OHD创建了俄勒冈州烟草预防与教育计划（TPEP），这是一个基于社区的综合计划，仿照加利福尼亚州和马萨诸塞州成功的烟草使用预防计划制定。为了评估俄勒冈州增税和TPEP的效果，OHD评估了投票倡议和该计划实施之前（1993 - 1996年）和之后（1997 - 1998年）征税的香烟包数数据。俄勒冈州的结果也与全国数据进行了比较。本报告总结了分析结果，结果表明，在实施消费税和TPEP后，俄勒冈州的香烟消费量大幅下降，且超过了全国下降率。
