Create a heat map of state cigarette taxes. What patterns do you observe from this map?

Explore the relationship between state gross domestic product (GDP) and cessation expense. Is the claim that states with greater economic output spend more on cessation programs supported by the data? Adjust state GDP for population size. This will give the economic output on a per capita basis. Do you think these two variables should be compared using adjusted or unadjusted values? Explain your reasoning using correlation coefficients.
