In October 1989, the Association of State and Territorial Health Officials (ASTHO) conducted a survey of state health department personnel regarding programs, policies, and public health systems that stress the prevention and control of the use of tobacco. This survey provided detailed data associated with state tobacco-use control programs and their essential components (e.g., budgets, planning, coalitions, surveillance systems, smoking cessation programs, educational activities, legislative actions, and health department policies). States vary widely in the strength and coverage of their programs for preventing and controlling tobacco use. The ASTHO survey data may be used to help plan and evaluate state health department programs as part of an effort to prevent chronic diseases related to tobacco use. Outcomes of state activities may be evaluated through surveys such as CDC's Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) and the Current Population Survey (CPS) of the Bureau of the Census. Future surveys of state activities for controlling the use of tobacco may be included in the evaluation of the upcoming (1993) American Stop Smoking Intervention Study (ASSIST), which is cosponsored by the National Cancer Institute and the American Cancer Society.
1989年10月，州与领地卫生官员协会（ASTHO）针对各州卫生部门人员开展了一项调查，内容涉及强调烟草使用预防与控制的项目、政策及公共卫生系统。此次调查提供了与州烟草使用控制项目及其基本组成部分（如预算、规划、联盟、监测系统、戒烟项目、教育活动、立法行动及卫生部门政策）相关的详细数据。各州在预防和控制烟草使用项目的力度和覆盖范围上差异很大。ASTHO的调查数据可用于帮助规划和评估州卫生部门的项目，作为预防与烟草使用相关慢性病工作的一部分。州活动的成果可通过诸如疾病控制与预防中心的行为风险因素监测系统（BRFSS）和人口普查局的当前人口调查（CPS）等调查进行评估。未来对各州控制烟草使用活动的调查可能会纳入即将开展的（1993年）美国戒烟干预研究（ASSIST）的评估中，该研究由美国国家癌症研究所和美国癌症协会共同赞助。
