Mr. Donald Clark, Secretary
Federal Trade Commission
Room H-159
600 Pennsylvania Ave., N.W.
Washington, D.C. 20580RE: Comments Concerning Regulations Implementing the
Comprehensive Smokeless Tobacco Health Education Act of 1986, 16 CFR Part 307.
Dear Secretary Clark:
The American Dental Association (ADA) submits the enclosed comments
concerning the Comprehensive Smokeless Tobacco Education Act of
1986, 16 CFR Part 307. The ADA supports strong warning labels as one means of discouraging
use of smokeless tobacco by children and adolescents, which is very important as each year
more than 800,000 young people in the United States experiment with spit (smokeless)
tobacco. The warning labels should occupy at least 25 percent of the front of the package
and be printed in black and white, which would be similar to actions already taken in
Canada and Australia.
Sincerely,
Signed
Richard F. Mascola, D.D.S.
President |
