What was the national rate of sales of tobacco products to minors prior to the release of the SAMHSA Implementing Regulation?
Data on tobacco sales to minors before passage of the Synar Amendment come predominantly from local evaluations of youth access interventions, and thus provide city or county (rather than State or national) sales rates. In addition, youth tobacco purchase surveys conducted prior to the release of the SAMHSA Implementing Regulation often differ substantially from the random, scientific surveys conducted for SAMHSA in terms of sampling procedures and the inspection protocols used to assess retailer compliance.
