Which states have the most stringent smoking laws?

There are probably five states that have aggressively used tobacco taxation to fund anti-tobacco messaging, treatment, and clean indoor air legislation throughout their states. California was the first. California's smoking rate dropped faster than any other state, beginning in 1989 when their first legislation was passed. Arizona followed very quickly, along with Massachusetts and Connecticut. Utah had a lower smoking rate than any other state to begin with, because a larger proportion of their population doesn't smoke for religious reasons. Oregon also followed. Washington has had a decline as a result of their anti-smoking campaign. It's been very clear when a state health department, their governor and their legislature work together to create anti-smoking messages to the state, incentives, research, and clean indoor air laws in legislation. The population then listens and begins to change their behavior, seeking treatment and choosing to live smoke free lives. In fact, in the state where I live, in California, only nine percent of women still smoke. It's the lowest state in the union because California has had a massive anti-smoking campaign for 20 years.
