Public health groups seek to double the 16 cent federal cigarette tax to 32 cents and press state and local increases to deter youth smoking. The American Heart Association unveiled the plan during its annual meeting as part of a broader goal to reach a smoke free United States by 2000. Meanwhile Catholic bishops at their annual meeting discussed domestic church matters but grappled with controversial public issues and their relevance to daily life.
