FDA Rules Crack Down on Tobacco Marketing and Sales to Kids
March 18, 2010The following is a statement from Matthew L. Myers, President, Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids: The Food and Drug Administration today has taken a crucial step in exercising its new authority to regulate tobacco products by issuing rules restricting tobacco industry marketing and sales to youth. When the rules take effect on June 22, it will mark the first time the U.S. government has put its full force behind specific, nationwide regulations intended to thwart the tobacco industry's continuing efforts to attract kids and turn them into lifelong addicts. This is a long-overdue step to stop the tobacco industry's predatory targeting of our children that continues even today. Full release.
