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. a. 22 'I'I DN 0018010

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. a. 22 'I'I DN 0018010

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. 25 ' a'I DN 0018013 E

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. II.

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. 57 TI DN 00I8044

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.

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.

The 1986 Surgeon General's and NAS reports provided additional ammunition for legislative activity. 0 Although other viewpoints exist, it has been difficult for scientists with these viewpoints to express themselves within the scientific community.

II. Assuaptions o Most smoking restrictions and smoking restriction legislation are based on the alleged health effects of environmental tobacco smoke on the nonsmoker; proponents are strongly motivated' by annoyance. The 1986 Surgeon General's and NAS reports provided additional ammunition for legislative activity. 0 Although other viewpoints exist, it has been difficult for scientists with these viewpoints to express themselves within the scientific community. A network of anti-smokers in leadership positions effectively muzzles opposing views; publication of articles with these views is difficult. o Federal, state and local public smoking activity continues to increase. As of June, 1987, 5 bills were pending at the federal level; 189 state and 178 local bills have been introduced. Eighteen state proposals have been 110 TI DN 0018094

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 134 TI DN 0018118
