REMINISCE SUNDAY, MARCH 12, 2006 – A-3 Editor: Jody Martinez, 468-3517 The Ukiah Daily Journal [email protected] Cigarette PICTURE FROM THE PAST sales hit historic low Associated Press WASHINGTON — Cigarette sales are at a 55-year low, but public health advocates say more must be done to encourage the roughly 20 percent of Americans who still smoke to quit. The National Association of Attorneys General, relying on Treasury Department data, reported Wednesday that 378 billion cigarettes were sold in the United States last year. That is the lowest number sold since 1951, according to the attorneys general. Anti-smoking advocates say the decline is partly due to the $206 billion landmark agreement the states reached with cigarette makers in 1998. It imposed sweeping restric- tions on tobacco advertising and marketing and led to the creation of the American Legacy Foundation, which runs hard-hitting anti-smoking ads. Other factors credited for the decline include cigarette tax increases and a recent push for smoke-free laws. Since 1998, 43 states and the District of Columbia have increased tobacco taxes, according to the Campaign for Tobacco-free Kids. In addition, 12 states and the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico have smoking bans at all indoor businesses, including bars and restaurants. Only California had such law before the settlement with the states. Mark Greenwold, chief counsel for tobac- co issues at the National Association of Attorneys General, said in an interview Thursday it is hard to say which of the tobac- co control measures is most responsible for the decline in cigarette sales.
