think it's good that it' now all

be forced to deal wi th this si rna

a lot of people were feeling",

we must realize that everyone is
watching."

To help retailers enforce state laws prohibiting
the sale of cigarettes to minors, we are providing a
sign like the one shown here for display
where cigarettes are sold. There is also a new
booklet available from The Tobacco Institute
. for families with young children. It's called
"Tobacco: Helping Youth Say No.�' It helps
parents help their children resist peer
pressu re to smoke. For a copy write to
R. J. Reynolds Tobacco Company,
P.O. Box 12�7, Winston-Salem, NC 27102.
R. J. Reynold b r ves that these new tobacco
indu try program will help young people
und r tand that moking is NOT part of growing up.
That young people and smoking don't go
together has long been the position of the tobacco
industry. And the industry has recently
lau nched aggressive new programs with th,e
express purpose of putting cigar�ttes further
out of reach of young people. Here's what
we're doing:
• Supporting state laws that would
prohibit the sale of cigarettes to those
under the age of 18 ..
• Supporting state legislation to require
supervision. of vending machines in
locations frequented by minors.
• Requiring cigarette ads on billboards to be at
least 500 feet from any elementa� junior or
senior high school or children's playground.
• Sharply limiting the distribution ,of product
samples and premiums.
