Noting that parents have a right\nto know which companies are marketing products to their children and that public health officials\ncan use this information to reduce tobacco use among youth, the President reaffirmed his\ncommitment to taking every step he can -- with or without the Congress - to stop teen smoking.\nWhen the Congress once again takes up comprehensive tobacco legislation, these new data will\nform the basis for lookback surcharges that will ensure tobacco companies undertake meaningful\nefforts to reduce youth smoking. Today, one of every three teenagers smoke cigarettes and every\nday, 3,000 child become regular smokers.\nThe Expanded Survey Provide Better Data on Teen Tobacco Use\nTo provide the info\n1 the President has called for, the Department of Health and Human\nServices W1\none of its major annual surveys, the National Household Survey on Drug\ni), to collect new information on youth tobacco use. Conducted since the early\nthis survey is the primary source of information on illicit drug use in the general\npopulation and an important source of information on tobacco and alcohol use. The expanded\nsurvey will collect information on youth tobacco use by brand and will increase the number of\nyoung people surveyed and introduce computer assisted survey methods in order to improve the\nprecision of the survey.\n-lp Parents and Public Health Officials Reduce Teen Smoking\noffection of data on youth tobacco use by brand will give parents new information and\nde public health officials with new tools to address youth tobacco use. With this\nation, public health officials can determine how different kinds of tobacco market\ngns (e.g., the Joe Camel campaign) affect tobacco use, and they can target their tob\ncontrol efforts accordingly. And when the Congress once again takes up comprehensive tobac\nlegislation, these new data will form the basis for lookback charges that will ensure tobacco\ncompanies undertake meaningful efforts to reduce youth smoking.\nPresident Clinton is Committed to Bipartisan, Comprehensive Legislation\nPresident Clinton also reaffirmed his commitment to passing bipartisan comprehensive\nNation to reduce youth smoking that includes: a substantial increase in the price of cigarettes\nined with additional surcharges on companies that continue to sell to kids; full authority for\nthe Food and Drug Administration to regulate tobacco products; changes in the way the tobacco\nindustry does business, including an end to marketing and promotion to kids; progress toward\nother public health goals, including biomedical and cancer research, a reduction in second-hand\nsmoke, and smoking cessation programs; and pro tion for tobacco farmers and their\ncommunities. The President once again stated ti\nwould not accept watered-down legislation\nthat is designed to provide cover to politicians, rather\nbring about a dramatic reduction in\nyouth smoking.\nPHOTOCOPY\nPRESERVATION"
