Clinton proposes strict limits on tobacco to curb teen smoking
President Clinton's plan would allow cigarette sales only to those over 13 with age proof, ban single and cheap packs, bar brand advertising at sports events and on non tobacco items, fund a $150 million anti smoking campaign, and restrict outdoor tobacco ads near schools. It would spare cigars and pipes and faces Southern political pushback. Senate leaders call the move cautious but potentially impractical for sweeping tobacco regulation.
