OVERVIEW In this report, the author traces the history of the development of the first statewide tobacco control program, from its early obstacles and legislative‐imposed deadline through the development of its three priority areas. Woven into this review is Dr. Bal's emphasis on the role of a cohesive leadership tied into the needs of the tobacco control constituency. Cancer 1998;83:2717‐2721. © 1998 American Cancer Society.
