Policy transition to state-controlled outlets may reduce tobacco-related mortality, suggesting a strong tobacco control strategy.

Policy impact on mortality may be even greater if cigarette smoking prevalence is reduced more than we estimated. To reach an endgame, states should prioritize more aggressive tobacco control policies that limit the availability of cigarettes.
