Smokeless tobacco is a serious public health problem in Arkansas.
Clearly consumers are not receiving sufficient warnings about the health risks associated with smokeless tobacco use. Additionally, warnings should be printed in a larger type than is presently used on cigarettes. Additionally, the FTC should specify in regulations the format and colors of the warning. Research and evidence from other countries suggest that black type on a white background is most effective. Citizens of this country deserve at least as much protection as is mandated by law and regulation in Canada and Australia.
