Due to the remarkable number of premature deaths caused by smoking during the period of 1995-1999 , the government agencies of America especially the Food and Drug Administration (FDA ) made several attempts in regulating tobacco and tobacco products . Lots of laws have been made in to solve this problem . There was an attempt in issuing additional tax on each stick of the cigarette

. However , people who smoke ranging from `minor ' smokers to heavy smokers would still continue to buy cigarettes regardless of its price . Some rules recommended the limitation of people 's access to tobacco products , as well as restrictions on the marketing of these products to minors

Do there need to be changes in existing laws

Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act were introduced in 2007 . This Act though abundant of 'good laws ' is not strong . Some amendments should be made on the laws involved

How should those changes be approached and effected

Lots of amendments have been made on the laws . Some attempts were on the regulation of tobacco products through disclosure , annual registration inspection , record keeping , and user fee requirements . Others approaches involve (1 )limiting product sales on licensed drugstores (2 )prohibiting product sales through face-to-face transactions in retail outlets (3 establishing a minimum age greater than 18 years of age for product purchases (4 ) warning label and advertising requirements . These attempts would be well effected through thorough and consistent public dissemination

Is there an impact on other government agencies ? Identify the agencies impacted

The impact of this change is not only on the government agencies . It would also affect other organizations such as in the world of business advertisement , etc . The government agencies are the Federal Trade Commission , Federal Communications Commission , National Institute of Health , Peace Corps and as well as The White House

How should it be resolved

Agreements should be made among affected agencies in to resolve the impact of regularizing the circulation of tobacco . Others should give sacrifices for the sake of the health of the majority

The best suggestion to solve this conflict is to develop a product that would ingredients for cigarettes
