In 2002, New York City implemented a comprehensive tobacco control plan that discouraged smoking through excise taxes and smoke-free air laws and facilitated quitting through population-wide cessation services and hard-hitting media campaigns. Following the implementation of these activities through a well-funded and politically supported program, the adult smoking rate declined by 28% from 2002 to 2012, and the youth smoking rate declined by 52% from 2001 to 2011. These improvements indicate that local jurisdictions can have a significant positive effect on tobacco control.
2002 年，纽约市实施了一项全面的烟草控制计划，通过消费税和禁烟法来劝阻吸烟，并通过全民戒烟服务和强有力的媒体宣传来促进戒烟。在一个资金充足且得到政治支持的项目的推动下，这些活动得以实施，结果显示，从 2002 年到 2012 年，成年人的吸烟率下降了 28%，从 2001 年到 2011 年，青少年的吸烟率下降了 52%。这些改善表明，地方司法管辖区可以对烟草控制产生重大的积极影响。
