1995-2025 state-level legislative data on tobacco use prevention and control policies, collected quarterly by the CDC's STATE System. The data include statutory state preemption of more stringent local laws on advertising, smokefree indoor air, youth access, and licensure. Columns such as ProvisionDesc, LocationDesc, and Effective_Date track the status and impact of these laws.
