Youth Tobacco Sales: FFY 2007 Annual Synar Reports. State Synar Enforcement Efforts and SAMHSA's Synar Regulation Monitoring

摘要

The national weighted average rate of tobacco sales to minors (RVR) as reported by States and the District of Columbia in their FFY 2007 Annual Synar Reports is now 10.5 percent, the lowest RVR in Synar's 11-year history. FFY 2007 is the second year in Synar history where the Secretary found no State out of compliance with the Synar regulations. States meeting their Synar goals generally employ a comprehensive strategy combining vigorous enforcement efforts, political support from the State government, a climate of active social norms that discourage youth tobacco use, and well coordinated tobacco access control programs.
