One o f the most trying aspects of being a
parent is encouraging your child to make the
right choices — not just to follow along. In
to d ay ’s com plex society, grow ing 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 d o n ’t want children and teenagers
to smoke.
T h at’s why the tobacco industry is 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 N o,” is
designed to keep parents and children

smoking.
To continue its longstanding com m itm ent
that smoking is not for young people, the
tobacco industry also has strengthened its
m arketing code and is supporting state
legislation to make it tougher for young
people to buy cigarettes. We are also
working with retailers for strict com pliance
with state laws prohibiting sales of cigarettes
to minors.
