Indiana State Health Improvement Plan (I-SHIP) - State of Indiana

Decrease Tobacco Usage
as loss of productivity and premature death, it is imperative that the federal,
state, and local governments continue to work to prevent tobacco use
among young people. Tobacco control programs are at the heart of public
health recommendations for national health reform, as the number one
recommendation is to invest in population-based and community-based
prevention, education and outreach programs that have been proven to
prevent disease and injury and improve the social determinants of health.
Tobacco control has years of evidence-based research behind it.

x Orzechowski & Walker, Tax Burden on Tobacco 2009, state agencies. U.S. General Accounting
Office (GAO). Federal Smoking Medicaid Costs are federal expenditures within the state to cover
the federal share of in-state Medicaid expenditures caused by smoking. Other Federal Smoking-
Caused Costs are estimated amounts that each state‘s taxpayers pay to cover their share of total non-
Medicaid federal nationwide smoking-caused expenditures. Taxpayer‘s burden equals the cost to
taxpayers in each state to cover all smoking-caused state government health expenditures and their
share of payments to cover all smoking-caused federal government health expenditures. No nonhealth
costs included in tax burden other than smoking-caused Social Security Survivors Insurance
(SSSI) payments.
