LOLIISWLLE, RY- Brown & Williamson today issued the following statement regarding
President Clinton's decision to allow Food & Drug Administration regulatory action against
tobacco:
"The Clinton Administration today aligned itself with the radical views of FDA
Commissioner David Kessler and clearly set a course to ban the sale of cigarettes.
Under the guise of preventing youth smoking, a goal which all tobacco companies
share, the Administration in reality has laid the foundation for a 'backdoor prohibition'
policy that extends not only to minors, but to adults as well.
The law is clear that FDA has no jurisdiction over tobacco. For more than 80
years, Congress has repeatedly rejected proposed legislation that would have given
FDA such authority. The proposed regulations, which seek to restrict cigarette
sales, advertising and promotion, simply do not fit within the framework of FDA's
regulatory authority.
B&W believes that youth access to cigarettes can be reduced without increased
government regulations. B&W agirees with many retail organizations that
voluntary initiatives are best to ensure that tobacco is not sold to youth.
If Kessler gets his foot in the door on the soft issue of youth access, which everyone
supports, expect the agenda to expand very quickly to encompass much wider issues
directly impacting the freedom of adults to make decisions about their own lifestyles.
The agenda is clearly backdoor prohibition, no matter what the Clinton Administration,
the FDA, the AMA or anyone else claims.
We will strenuously oppose the FDA's efforts to regulate tobacco. We will fight this
action through an industry lawsuit that has just been filed."
