One of the most trying aspects of being a
parent is encouraging your child to make the
right choices -. not just to follow along. In
today's complex society, growing up involves
more pressures and choices than ever before.
Studies show that young people do things
because their friends do. Smoking is one
of those things.
We don't want children and teenagers
to smoke.
That's why the tobacco industry i offering
a booklet aimed at helping parents meet the
challenge of providing their children with the
tools to resist peer influence. The booklet,
"Tobacco: Helping Youth Say No," is
de igned to keep parents and children
ommunicating about important issues like
s oking.
o continue its longstanding commitment
that smoking is not for young people, the
tobacco industry also has strengthened its
marketing code and is supporting state
legislation to make it tougher for young
. people to buy cigarettes. We are also
working with retailers for strict compliance
with state laws prohibiting sales of cigarettes'
to minors. .
