AMA seeks total ban on cigarette advertising
The American Medical Association plans to seek a total ban on cigarette advertising as part of a smoke free society goal by 2000. The resolution, backed by the AMA board, would be voted on by the House of Delegates in Washington next week, with a push to urge Congress to enforce such a ban. The move targets primarily print media, since TV and radio ads are already banned. The AMA also advocates doubled tobacco taxes and ending subsidies for farmers.
