Public policy interventions and their cost effectiveness
Policies that promote smoking cessation are highly cost effective and are more cost-effective than many other government financed health interventions.
Use of NRT is a cost effective cessation method. A comparison with the cost effectiveness of other health care interventions shows that the use of NRT is either comparable or performs better.
Workplace smoking bans reduce both smoking prevalence and smoking intensity and, when self-enforced, these bans are highly cost effective. Workplace-based cessation programs constitute a good investment for employers. Including bupropion in a workplace cessation program is cost effective.
Higher cigarette taxes and other tobacco control efforts reduce smoking among pregnant women. Programs targeting pregnant women are highly cost effective.
