The industry agrees to disband the Council for Tobacco Research-U.S.A. Inc., a trade group. Tobacco companies are prohibited from targeting Minnesota children in marketing or promotions. Cigarette makers may not use billboards or mass transit in Minnesota to advertise their products.
Tobacco companies agree to stop paying placement fees to have their products appear in movies.
The provision applies across the nation. The industry also is obligated not to challenge any future legislative efforts to restrict smoking by children. This page, and other ASH web pages, may be freely copied and reproduced in print or on other web pages.
