Restricting sales of tobacco products to people 21 and older could keep 11,000 Michiganders from starting to smoke, potentially avoiding premature deaths in two-thirds of that population, according to a new study by School of Public Health faculty
Holly Jarman, Ph.D., M.Res.,
Rafael Meza, Ph.D
., and
David Mendez, Ph.D., M.S., and their colleague
Tammy Chang, M.D., M.P.H., M.S. from the Department of Family Medicine.
The change would translate into 17,000 fewer smoking-related deaths and 198,000 fewer smokers in five years if Michigan were to pass what's often called "Tobacco 21" legislation, according to the team's analysis. Seven states and more than 400 municipalities have already enacted such laws, and a measure was introduced in Michigan's House of Representatives in January.
