Brief Summary

The introduction of the Tobacco Control Law in the United States and enacting in Florida has been impactful to the consumption of the drug among the youths. The number of youths smoking in Florida was alarming and all the addicted adults do have date their smoking back to when they were below the ages of 18 and thus it became a mission for the state to find long-term solutions to the pandemic. The tobacco abuse has become a major pandemic in the society which is influencing majority of the youths that are instead supposed to guard the next generation. It is evident that the law dictates the tobacco companies to minimize their advertisements, their manufacturing and distribution. The highly addictive nature of the drug is a major problem since it has resulted in highly dependence in the community which is not appropriate. Florida did impose a higher age limit on the obtaining of the drug and it come with fines and a sentence time to help in making sure that the youths did avoid the drug which was not appropriate. The law has put the shops and the tobacco manufacturing companies on the stop with the directive to make sure that they achieve their directives or face the law. The various organizations in the country including health institutions team up to come up with healthy living choices that they then use the internet, social media and televisions to make sure that they pass the messages of staying drug free to help improve a tobacco free campaign for teenagers and youths. The effects of tobacco are high and thus the investors and tobacco manufacturers need some control to help establish protection of the health of the youths.
