These are things where Washington would be acting to empower the community. I think one of the reasons teen smoking rates are going up is because of the publicity around teen smoking. The tobacco industry promotes smoking by kids by presenting tobacco use as a way to look grown up, and a way to rebel. All of this talk about keeping kids from smoking, and kids this and kids that, in a subtle way reinforces the tobacco industry message that smoking is for grown ups. You cannot reduce teen smoking in a vacuum.
Teens are a part of society.
Teens emulate adults, especially young adults. If you want to reduce teen smoking, you have to show the adult populace rejecting tobacco use. Do as I say, not as I do, never worked well with teenagers. They wanted to get the litigation behind them so they could concentrate on overseas expansion, particularly in the developing world. I think that is what they are going to try to continue to do.
