We will expand
the data set (SmokingHealthCareExpenditures.jmp) from the case “Health
Care Costs Associated with Smoking: A National Perceptive,”
to include additional data on smoking cessation expenditures, cigarette
taxes, median household income, population, land area, and other demographic
information for each US state. The data was obtained from the Centers
for Disease Control’s State Tobacco Activities Tracking and
Evaluation (STATE) System and the US Census Bureau (
www.census.gov) and compiled into the file SmokingDeterranceAndDemographics.jmp.
