Learning Objectives
At the conclusion of this presentation attendees will be able to:
- How local and state programs can eliminate youth tobacco use by 2020
- Policies needed to achieve tobacco free marketing
- Compare different methods for reducing youth use
Key Points: Child Proof Tobacco Market
Educational Experience: How local and state programs can eliminate youth tobacco use
Benefits: Demonstrate ability to develop comprehensive youth interventions
This session will explore innovative policies and programs that states and local communities could provide for the 21st century so that a “child proof” tobacco market is achieved by 2020. In such a market, children would not be influenced to smoke, unable to purchase products or open them or initiate use based on product design changes.
This session will review successes and failures in curbing youth smoking over the last century and new potential for FDA tobacco product standards that prevent youth from experimenting with tobacco through aversive design. A panel of local and state experts will describe new intervention standards including effective MSA implementation and use of new local authority allowed by the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act (FSPTCA) to end youth marketing. The session will address the need to replace current compliance programs with a comprehensive retail licensure program that is based on limiting type and number of retailers, high fees, fines and reporting of advertising and price promotions as allowed by the FSPTCA. The session will review new policies for mandating child proof tobacco packages similar to the new Camel Orbs packaging based on Consumer Protection Safety Commission guidelines and finally the panel will address how communities and states can encourage FDA to become an active partner in this endeavor by requiring a cigarette that a first-time user can’t smoke or chew.
