    |
0016|       WHEREAS, more children alive today will die from tobacco

    |
0019|     combined; and
    |
0020|       WHEREAS, children's smoking rates are rising, with the

    |
0023|       WHEREAS, every day another three thousand American children

    |
0003|     dollars ($6,000,000,000) annually on advertisements and

0005|     encouraging children to use tobacco products; and
    |
0006|       WHEREAS, the three most heavily advertised cigarette
    |
0007|     brands, Marlboro, Camel and Newport, are the brands chosen by

    |
0009|       WHEREAS, state and local laws restricting tobacco sales to
    |
0010|     minors are routinely ignored; and
    |
0011|       WHEREAS, to reduce the use of tobacco by children, the
    |
0012|     president has proposed regulations that would reduce children's
    |
0013|     access to tobacco products and the products' appeal to children;
