On the recordMay 20, 1998
Let me ask the Senator, if he will, using another chart, our colleague argued last night that the 1993 American price decrease led to more youth smoking. I would call my colleague's attention to the fact that in at least 1 year both price and youth smoking decreased. Later, there was a dramatic increase in youth smoking without a proportional price increase. These facts provide further evidence that price is not the only determinant of smoking behavior as some would lead us to believe. Is the Senator aware of that?
