In Utah, legislation is being dratted that increases by 3.5 percent the price of a pack of cigarettes. The bill is being sponsored by Utah's Department of Health Risk Reduction Division. The measure would pump money into tobacco education programs. Reynolds also advocates licensing merchants who sell tobacco and raising the age at which minors can purchase cigarettes to 21. Merchants caught selling to minors would pay increasing fines with each offense, and would lose their license to sell tobacco on the third offense. He would also like vending machines that sell cigarettes banned and more tobacco education in public schools.

"Those addicted to .t'i'ohol here are heavily addicted." U: said. "The people consuming are doing in the 16th position in the country.

Another attack has come from the Justice Department, nicotine. And indeed, tobacco dollars may have their impact.
