California's tobacco control program saved 86 billion U.S. dollars in 2004, while only costing the state 1.8 billion dollars to fund the program, a new study showed.
In a study published in the Aug. issue of PLoS Medicine, researchers evaluated the health care savings that occurred as a result of the tobacco control program between 1989, when the program began, and 2004, when the study ended.
