California’s early adoption of antismoking initiatives in the 1980s and 1990s—after tobacco use and lung cancer were indisputably linked—has resulted in a lung cancer mortality rate that is 28% lower in that state compared with the rest of the country, according to a new study published online in Cancer Prevention Research (published online ahead of print October 10, 2018. DOI:10.1158/19406207.CAPR-18-0341). What is more, researchers say, the gap between California’s lung cancer death rate and the national average is growing by nearly a percentage point each year.

根据一项新的报告，加利福尼亚在 1980 年代和 1990 年代早期采取了禁烟举措——在烟草使用和肺癌无可争辩地联系在一起之后——导致该州的肺癌死亡率比美国其他地区低 28%。研究在线发表于癌症预防研究（2018 年 10 月 10 日印刷前在线发表。DOI：10.1158/19406207.CAPR-18-0341）。更重要的是，研究人员表示，加州肺癌死亡率与全国平均水平之间的差距每年都在增加近一个百分点。
