title: Nicotine addiction among American youth.
abstract: On August 10, 1995, based on the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's 18-month investigation of the role of nicotine in tobacco, President Bill Clinton announced the FDA's proposed rules against the use of tobacco by young people. The FDA's proposed program, which has met opposition from tobacco companies, has two goals: to minimize the easy access that children have to tobacco products and to decrease the effectiveness of the money the industry spends each year marketing and promoting tobacco products to young people. The Society of Otorhinolaryngology and Head-Neck Nurses' 1991 Position Statement recognizes the importance of members discussing social and health consequences of smokeless tobacco use with local school students. Participation in the Through With Chew Campaign, established by the American Academy of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery in 1989, is an opportunity for SOHN members to show support for the FDA's proposal.
