Just citizens marching down to their friendly, i •:/ neighborhood convenience ' stores to say, "If you sell ciga rettes to our kids, we'll take otu business elsewhere." It's a new tack, a grassroots effort sprung straight from the research of CSUSB psychology professor Liz Klonoff and two associates. Two years ago some of the work was published in The Journal of the American Medical Association, and Klonoff was one of several selected to appear at a national news conference recognizing the f 30th anniversary of the surgeon general's caveat on smoking. In the spring of 1994, she turned loose 36 children on 72 San Bernardino County con venience stores to make more than 2,500 tobacco buys—incognito. They were 10, 14 and 16, Black, Brown and White, non-smokers trained to buy cigarettes as though they were smokers, specially educated on the haz ards of smoking and, in a roundabout way, the hazards of believing in Joe Camel and Madonna, heroes of cigarette chic for the young and the breathless. One would guess most youth score their smokes from home. But the right guess is they head for gas stations, small stores and big stores, which experts have said sell to minors chiefly to make profits. Klonoff's data, however, says not so sixteen and ten at the time of the study, Manu and Antonio iearned a few things firsthand. fast. If money's the motive, she asks, why did her research show that clerks sold more cigarettes to girls tlian to boys.^ Why more to I African-Americans than to Caucasians or Latinos.^ Why older children more than to younger? You want Manu: profits, you sell to everyone. "If they Not just girls because they * (convenience look mature or more responsi stores) canêt ble; not to African-Americans a kid at a "just because they ask." So younjy aê to Klonoff and her crew are trying to start smoking, convince communities to put kids' then they can health first—aU kids' health.

Don't ask and kids don't care who they hurt." succeed eight percent of the time at buying single cigarettes, at least in Klonoff's study, and 22 percent of the time at packs. Laugh when a kid asks to buy cigarettes and sales drop then, too. Customers in a store can make a difference that way. But in two-thirds of the attempts made by the children, customers said noth ing. They didn't want to get involved, per haps. Except to say that a few offered their own cigarettes. As did a female clerk, whose law-abiding senses managed to kick in when one Antonio: boy asked for a single, at which point she lifted her freshly lit cigarette from an ashtray and hand "It's t to me that they ed it to him, careful to observe as she did the letter could sell of the law, while effectively dumping its spirit.

In those 20 years, less than 40 violations have been enforced. Licensing stores to sell tobacco is stiU only an idea right now. And that's where the old principle comes in—money talks when money walks—applied here not by force of fines but by pressure from parents armed with buttons and posters and the thought of too much to lose. Their children.
