MEDIA REIATIONS
I. Background
The third quarter of 1986 brought the issue of environmental
tobacco smoke to the forefront with the publication of the
National Academy of Science and Surgeon General's Reports. These
reports created media attention at levels unprecedented in recent
years. This carried over well into the first quarter of 1987,
and still continues, though at a reduced level. Some press
accounts now report ETS as though increased risk has been
established without doubt.
In 1987, it is estimated that the media relations team will
participate in over 600 broadcast interviews, 1,500 print
interviews, fill over 4,000 information requests from the public
and the media, make personal contact with over 1,000 journalists,
and conduct 250 interviews with consulting experts.
II. Assumptions
0 As a result of a more aggressive approach, The Institute is
seen as a reliable source and credible newamaking organization by
an increasing number of journalists. Many national and local
media outlets make efforts to include The Institute's views for

o The media continues to be interested in tobacco-related
issues and legislative activity. Congressional and national
level activity combined with distinct occurrences (e.g. Beverly
Hills restaurant ban) make the national news. Anti-smokers show
no signs of abating attacks of the industry at local levels. The
Institute must continue to take a leading and aggressive role as
a source of information and experts to put such events in
perspective in addition to providing substantiated opposition.
o There is no reason to suspect that current trends in media
coverage of ongoing issues will cease, but it is evolving.
Specifically:
1) Environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) coverage has, to a
large extent, shifted from being covered predominantly on a
national level, to being raised at local levels in the
context of political battles and consideration of smoking
restrictions. The exception to this is announcements of
"new findings" or major statements by leaders in the
anti-smoking community.
-- Virtually all surges in the level of major coverage
of ETS science are tied to specific anti-smoking initiatives

The proposed budget for media relations activities in 1988 reflects several
proposed changes in operations and.expectations. Reduced budget line items
(Postage & Delivery, Reproduction, Printing & Drafting, and Other Office
Expenses) result from bringing several capabilities in-house, and no expected
video/b-roll production. Proposed increases for 1988 (Advertising, Training,
and Professional Fees) are attributable to retaining a media consultant to
provide ongoing evluation, increased advertising in media trade publications,
increased special projects support, filling the State Activities Division
request for PR counsel in key markets, and expenditures for satellite and
electronic support.

INFORMATION CENTER
I. Background
The role of the Information Center (the "Center") is to maintain
a document file and library, and to provide information and
analyses to individuals responsible for developing policy,
managing issues and communicating positions on behalf of The
Tobacco Institute's member companies.
Management of the Center was assigned to the public-Affairs
Division in 1986. The Center was successfully reorganized in
1987 according to a plan approved and launched in the fourth
quarter of 1986. The plan, designed to promote efficiency,
economy and versatility in providing information services,
brought about significant changes in staff, basic services and
assignments.
Among its many positive results, the reorganization achieved its
fundamental objective: to develop a flexible, versatile and
creative staff. Each of the Center's six positions was redefined
and one was upgraded between May 1986 and May 1987 to reflect its
changing mission. The Center was fully staffed by the beginning
of 1987, and individuals not on the Division roster on October 1,
1986, now occupy four of the Center's six positions.

responded to specific requests for substantive research,
producing quaiity.reports on, among other subjects, the National
Cancer Institute, the House Subcommittee on Health and the
Environment, the anti-smoking movement, convenience-store
economics, and Rorean-American business and political activity.
Similarly, staff prepared extensive profiles of members of
Congress and their districts, political organizations, and
various industries. They also attended and reported on
scientific conferences, congressional hearings and news
conferences. Meanwhile, the Center handled an average of 65
routine requests for information per month from Institute and
member-company staff.
Center staff also became responsible for managing several
on-going functions and projects, including the weekly Executive
Summary, the meetings-coverage procedures, Freedom of Information
Act requests to government agencies, the annual Tobacco Industry
profile, and the annual survey of member companies and the
Council for Tobacco Research to determine the level of tobacco
industry funding of biomedical research.
Pursuant to the final objective of the reorganization, the Center
streamlined its basic clerical functions, replacing its

shift from the elements of the reorganization -- establishing
operating procedures and guidelines -- to fine-tuning the
Center's role and increasing the direct involvement of Center
staff in Division and Institute activities.
o Issues managers and other Institute professionals are
relying increasingly upon Center staff, rather than consultants,
to fill their research, analysis and other information needs.
This reliance should result in considerable cost savings.
o Strategies to tap the full range of abilities of Center
staff are the focus of this 1988 plan. Further strategies to

I. Background
In 1987, we conducted a public affairs campaign hammering the
points that all excise taxes are regressive and undermine tax
reform. Whenever possible, we encouraged third party groups
and our economists' network to communicate this message.
This strategy appreciably enhanced our traditional arguments
that an increase in the tobacco excise tax has an adverse
impact upon the tobacco economy and the economy as a whole.
our strategy to date has been successfully employed on the
federal level and increasingly in the states.
We also were assigned to develop a comprehensive plan to
counter any Congressional effort concerning cigarette pricing
in commissaries, exchanges and ship stores. The focus of
this plan is to encourage military groups to forcefully
oppose any change in the pricing issue as a threat to the
commissary benefit. Although considerable progress was made,
a comprehensive plan has not yet been fully implemented.

o Federal deficit reduction legislation, resulting cuts in
federal funding to state and local governments, and
aggressive lobbying by anti-smoking groups, foster a
political environment conducive to increases in cigarette
excise taxes. So far this year, eight Congressional bills
have been introduced to increase the federal excise tax; 93

o Excise taxes are "regressive" taxes. They are imposed
upon consumers regardless of their ability to pay. According
to a recent Congressional Budget Office study, tobacco excise
taxes are the most regressive.
o Excise taxes are inconsistent with tax fairness. The
objective of the Tax Reform Act of 1986 was to restructure
the federal tax code to assure fairness--many states are

certain goods and services to pay higher taxes than those who
do not.

PRODUCT REGIILlTION
I, Background
After two years of relative quiet, several events in 1987
moved the cigarette ingredients and "self-extinguishing"
cigarette issues, back into the public eye.
The Federal Trade Commission announced plans to shut down its
tar and nicotine testing labs, prompting Congressional
hearings and renewed calls to give the Consumer Product
Safety Commission or the Food and Drug Administration
authority to regulate cigarettes. The Surgeon General's
report, on "the pharmacology of quitting," returned attention
to the product rather than advertising or envi,ronmental
issues. And, the CPSC-coordinated federal study on the
technical and commercial feasibility of a
"self-extinguishing" cigarette, will be completed and
submitted to Congress.
At the same time The Tobacco Institute's fire prevention
program lept by leaps and bounds in 1987. We have a working
relationship with over 225 fire departments in the United
States, and we've given grants to over 130 cities and 47
fireservice organizations.

o Although the number of fire deaths related to careless
smoking decreased in the early part of the decade, the latest
data indicate that trend has leveled off and even increased.
Even though the death rate remains lower than it was five
years ago, careless smoking still is regarded by many as an
i.mportant cause of accidental fires.
o In the past, as many as 15 states have considered "fire
safe" cigarette legislation. To date in 1987, bills
requiring manufacture of "self-extinguishing" cigarettes are
pending in Massachusetts and New Jersey; a Minnesota bill
carries over to 1988. This contrast is due largely to the
fact that officials are awaiting the outcome of the federal
study.
0 Although fire service hostility to the tobacco i.ndustry
has subsided, it is far from nonexistent. Many major fire
service groups have in the past adopted resolutions i.n
support of "self-extinguishing" cigarette legislation.
Although these resolutions are outdated, they may continue to
reflect the positions of some of these groups, and may be
used to justify lobbying. Meanwhile, The Institute has
helped improve relations and has demonstrated that the
industry can act responsibly to help deal with the fire

IV. Strategies, Goals and Tactics
Strategy I: Work with manufacturers of other consumer
products, and with trade associations and manufacturers
representing the ingredients suppliers industry, to raise
public awareness of the current rigorous process by which all

COALITI08S PLAN
1. Background
Coalition activities supportive of specific issues are
described in the issues, media relations and special projects
plans. In this plan, we propose activities to improve
relations with groups and individuals that fall into three
general categories: (1) the tobacco family, (2) coalitions
with which we have existing relations among some but not all
groups and/or on some but not all issues, and (3) coalitions
with which we have no relationship as yet.
The success of many of these activities will depend upon the
involvement and cooperation of staff from other divisions
within The Institute, and from member companies and other
tobacco-related organizations.
II. A,ssu.ptions
o The tobacco industry is a highly competitive assortment
of individuals, businesses and trade associations. Unity of
its competitors in public affairs represents the industry's
greatest strength; conversely, disunity can be its greatest
weakness.

Coalition activities supportive of specific issues are
described in the issues, media relations and special projects
plans. In this plan, we propose activities to improve
relations with groups and individuals that fall into three
general categories: (1) the tobacco family, (2) coalitions
with which we have existing relations among some but not all
groups and/or on some but not all issues, and (3) coalitions
with which we have no relationship as yet.
The success of many of these activities will depend upon the
involvement and cooperation of staff from other divisions
within The Institute, and from member companies and other
tobacco-related organizations.
II. A,ssu.ptions
o The tobacco industry is a highly competitive assortment
of individuals, businesses and trade associations. Unity of
its competitors in public affairs represents the industry's
greatest strength; conversely, disunity can be its greatest
weakness.

o In dealing with public issues, the industry has come to
rely more and more heavily on development of effective
coalitions to complement and supplement its communications
activities. The development, maintenance and involvement of
coalitions by The Institute and its member companies has
become a priority communications activity which has produced
outstanding results.
o Our allies' greatest strength -- independence -- remains
a limit on the usefulness of these coalitions. Allies may
not agree or even have an interest in all industry issues,
and may not be willing or able to assist in all ways
requested.
o Although a great deal of progress has been made in
establishing and involving coalitions in our issue programs,
a great deal of additional work remains, particularly in the
areas of tobacco family and farm issues, minority and women's
issues.
o In order to attract allies and maintain their interest
in our issues, The Institute must become more involved in
responding to requests for assistance on non-tobacco
concerns, and in identifying and offering assistance on some
issues before we are asked.

ADVERTISING ISSUE
I. Background
it is our objective plan to position the issue as an attack
on the Constitution, rather than an attack on cigarette
advertising. T.I. has been very successful in accomplishing
that objective.
Through painstaking preparation, the industry clearly got the
better of the free speech case in four sets of Congressional
hearings -- two before the Waxman subcommittee in 1986 and
1987, one each before the Luken subcommittee and the Ways and
Means committee this year.
Another major victory, stemming from a massive effort, came
about when the American Bar Association rejected a resolution
in favor of a prohibition of tobacco advertising.
The creation and development of the Freedom to Advertise
Coalition (FAC), which has proved itself to be a viable
coalition of advertising and media trade associations, is
also a notable accomplishment.
While more work remains to be done, our coalition with the
National Association of State Boards of Education is

II. Aasu.ptions
o In order to accomplish its overall goal of eliminating
cigarette smoking in the United States by the year 2,000, the
anti-smoking coalition will continue to strike at the
industry's marketing practices.
o Currently, the coalition relies on two strategies to
accomplish this goal -- one is the direct approach of banning
cigarette advertising and promotion; the other is the
indirect approach of prohibiting tax deductions for cigarette
advertising and promotional expenses.
o Since both approaches raise serious First Amendment
concerns to a broad spectrum of American society, the
anti-smoking movement may abandon its frontal attack.
o Contrary to expectations, the AMA/Synar proposal has
worked in our favor. It has rallied many respected groups,

developing into a significant community presence in several
key Congressional districts.
II. Aasu.ptions
o In order to accomplish its overall goal of eliminating
cigarette smoking in the United States by the year 2,000, the
anti-smoking coalition will continue to strike at the
industry's marketing practices.
o Currently, the coalition relies on two strategies to
accomplish this goal -- one is the direct approach of banning
cigarette advertising and promotion; the other is the
indirect approach of prohibiting tax deductions for cigarette
advertising and promotional expenses.
o Since both approaches raise serious First Amendment
concerns to a broad spectrum of American society, the
anti-smoking movement may abandon its frontal attack.
o Contrary to expectations, the AMA/Synar proposal has
worked in our favor. It has rallied many respected groups,
such as ACLU, and powerful interests, such as newspaper
publishers, to our side. When our opponents discover their
mistake, they will replace an ad ban with less drastic bills

to control the content of advertising or to provide for
counter-advertising.
o In turn, less drastic alternatives may result in the
defection of some, or all, of our present allies. For
example, ad agencies and media suffer no economic loss from
text-only advertising and may even gain from
counter-advertising funded by advertisers or the government.
The ACLU might not regard earmarking excise taxes for health
promotion as violating the First Amendment.
o Promotion is becoming a larger factor in the industry's
marketing mix. In 1980, the ratio was 70/30; four years it
was nearly 50/50. This trend'could weaken our links with
advertising and print media trade associations, requiring us
to reach out to form coalitions with groups in the
promotional segment. The free speech aspect of the
industry's promotional practice will call for research and
development.
o The legal profession, i.e. the American Bar Association,
has rejected the view that an advertising ban is
constitutional. But legal scholars will continue to debate
the implications of the Posadas decision.
o However, other industries, trade associations and their
labor organizations (e.g. endangered industries such as

Association, U.S. Chamber, Washington Legal
Foundation to cover commercial speech in their
activities, by offering support grants.
12) Working with Media Relations staff, explore
similar opportunities with the Reporters Committee
for Freedom of the'Press, Sigma Delta Chi and
professional trade associations of minority news
media, e.g., the Association of Black Journalists and
the National Association of Hispanic Journalists.
Resolutions should be solicited from these groups.
Strategy III: Increase the level of awareness among 1oca1,
state and federal officials and opinion leaders that smoking
is only one of a constellation of adult practices; that
social and family factors are the primary factors shaping the
behavior of young people; and that member companies act
responsibly in this regard.2

1) Involve local, state and federal elected officials in
the opening and operation of each of these community
programs. After the first year of operation, support a
Washington D.C. conference of key participants at which
they will meet their Member of Congress.1
2) Reaffirm the industry's position against youth
smoking by commissioning a case history study of its
experience in dealing with the problem. With NASBE,
publicize the study through a one-day seminar and through

PUBLIC SMOKING ISSIIE
I. Background
As a result of the 1986 Surgeon General and National Academy
of Sciences reports on environmental tobacco smoke, an
explosion of anti-smoking legislation was introduced at both
the state and local levels. Midway through the year it was
apparent that the budget for public smoking was not adequate
to meet the legislative support and public communication
challenges these reports presented.
In part because of more aggressive marketing of our
resources, in part because of the incresed public awareness
of the ETS issue, we were able once again to meet our goals
for mailings, and corporate and indoor air quality briefings
by midyear, despite our having quadrupled most goals from
1986. These accomplishments also occurred with one less
staff, member assigned to the issue. We continued to expand
the broader issue of indoor air quality media tours involving
ventilation experts. We also have completed production of
three workplace and indoor air quality videos for use in
private as well as legislative briefings.
With additional funds made available in August, we moved

o Over the past year, several jurisdictions have taken
preliminary steps to address the problem of indoor air
quality, either as a free standing proposal to address
ventilation standards or as a companion bill to a smoking
restriction proposal.
o Most employers and restaurateurs would prefer to develop

are seeing a growing trend toward support of legislation
and/or total bans as easy ways out of dealing with a
potentially difficult issue.

SOCIAL COST ISSUE
I. Background
The "social cost" issue is a new program assigned to the
Public Affairs Division. In the past, we have addressed this
issue on an ad hoc basis when used to justify specific
anti-smoking proposals. The "social cost" issue impacts all
of our issues and is being used increasingly and with greater
intensity by anti-smoking groups. This plan represents our
first comprehensive program to aggressively manage the
"social cost" issue.
II. Assumptions
o Anti-smoking activists increasingly are arguing that the
smokers' alleged cost to society, i.e., increased job
absences, higher public medical expenses, accidental fires,
etc., justify increasing cigarette excise taxes, bans on
cigarette advertising, public smoking restrictions, and
elimination of the tobacco farm program. "Social cost"
arguments promoted by anti-smoking groups add to the
perception that tobacco use is socially unacceptable.
o "Social cost" arguments are utilized by anti-smoking
groups to counter any effort by the tobacco industry to

nation's economy, i.e., the Wharton and Chase studies. These
economic impact studies do not deal with "social cost"
arguments.
o Independent economists state that "social cost" concepts
and computations used by anti-smokers do not withstand
credible economic scrutiny. Anti-smokers' research presumes
that most costs they perceive to be associated with smoking
represent a financial burden on society as a whole.
o The Surgeon General's assertion that environmental
tobacco smoke is a demonstrated health hazard to the
nonsmoker will most likely escalate future "social cost"
estimates.
o The "social cost" debate thus far b~as been largely
between the anti-smoking lobby, including some members of
Congress, and the tobacco industry, with public policy makers
as the primary audience. Some actuarial and health care
economic discussions which do not support anti-smoker
research have not been widely distributed or promoted. The
general public is not familiar with all aspects of the issue
and, if they were, would likely be unsympathetic to "social

PRODUCTION SEBVICES
I. Background
In the last quarter of 1985 the Production Services
Department (PSD) was reassigned to the Public Affairs
Division. The reorganization resulted in redefined staff
duties and responsibilities. Consequently, PSD grew more
efficient and versatile as a service group to the Institute.
PSD is not a separate budgeted cost center. The group
provides services to all Institute divisions. These services
are then charged to the cost center initiating the project.
The Information Center is another department within the
division that follows this administrative proceedure.
II. Asstmptions
o New York, Chicago, Los Angeles and Dallas are centers
of graphic design. By comparison, Washington, D.C., has
relatively few art studios and printing companies. The
responsibility of the Production Services Department (PSD) is
to find and utilize the highest quality and most economical
services for The Institute's needs in this geographic area.
