Will Lookback Provisions Work? Because incentives have never been used to encourage tobacco companies to reduce underage tobacco use, there is no empirical evidence to tell us how effective the lookback provision will be. There is good reason to believe, however, that a lookback provision that provides economic incentives to reduce tobacco use will be effective. Perhaps the most compelling evidence is that the tobacco industry has a long track record of successful marketing to increase use of a product among children. For example, R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Company's Joe Camel advertising campaign was highly successful in increasing Camel's market share among underage smokers. The marketing skill that the tobacco companies have demonstrated could, if the companies wished, also be put to use to reduce youth smoking. In addition, there are many other strategies the industry could employ to reduce underage smoking if it had the appropriate financial incentives. Public Support: The public supports holding tobacco companies responsible if tobacco use among youth does not decline. According to a national telephone survey conducted by Market Facts' TeleNation, 57 percent of Americans favor stiff penalties if tobacco use does not to target levels, while only 34 percent are opposed. 03/10/98
