There are a lot of surprising statistics that make the government

But just recently according to the article (“smoke Screen” by Scholastic Inc. Oct. 1, 2001) the Supreme Court has just passed a law allowing tobacco advertisements wherever they want. The old rule used to be within a thousand feet of a school is off limits, but that law is said to interfere with the tobacco industries right to commercial free speech so now they are able to advertise within school proximity. Which is now taking a major step back for our country and its laws against youth smoking considering students who own or see a lot of cigarette promotional items are more than four times more likely to begin smoking, compared to those who are not exposed to these items. The Supreme Court\'s ruling is full of hot air. Cigarettes are deadly, and tobacco companies lose thousands of customers to death each year. Advertising near schools allows these companies to reach kids early, so that they can hook new customers. If it\'s wrong to advertise tobacco on TV and radio, why is it OK near schools? The ads promote smoking and smoking promotes death and disease, it does nothing but cause problems in this nation there should be more rules and regulations to abide by when it comes to deadly substances such as tobacco.
