Anti Smoking Lair Proposed in the USA

President Clinton has called for new laws aimed at cutting the number of teenagers who smoke, including penalising tobacco companies for failure to meet new targets. "The President is going to call for national legislation to reduce youth smoking", Bruce Reed, a domestic policy adviser, said on the ABC television program "Good Morning America" on Sunday morning.

Reed said 3,000 young people were taking up smoking every day, with 1,000 of them dying early as a result. "We want to cut that in half over the next 10 years, and we want to put in place financial penalties that will give the tobacco industry an incentive to stop marketing to children and start taking responsibility for reducing youth smoking", he said. Reed added that the Administration favoured a combination of payments and penalties that could raise the price of cigarettes as much as $1.50 a pack over ten years.

The Administration also favoured a national "counter advertising campaign" to warn young people of the dangers of smoking, he said. However, because of stiff criticism from antismoking advocates, the agreement is unlikely to be taken up in Congress this year, leaving it open to further changes and possible collapse.

Voting and Government

Great Britain is a monarchy, but the Queen of Great Britain k not absolute, but constitutional. Her powers are limited by Parliament. But the power is hereditary, and not elective.

The Prime Minister is usually the leader of the state are majority in the House of Commons. All the affairs of the state are conducted in the name of the Queen (or King), but really the Prime Minister is responsible for every measure submitted to Parliament He is the virtual ruler of the country, presiding over the meetings of the Cabinet, which are always secret. Unless there is a Coalition Government, the members of the Cabinet belong to one party only.

When once a party has won a majority of votes, it forms the Government, and may hold office for five years, unless it is defeated by the Opposition on some important Bill, or unless it decides to "appeal to the country", and to have another general election.

The Opposition criticises, attempts to amend or directly opposes the Bills introduced by the Government. If they succeed in defeating the Government on any important Bill, or carry a vote of "No confidence" in the Government, the latter resigns, and the Queen calls upon the leader of the Opposition to form a ne* Government

There are 625 Members of the English House of Commons, Am member may introduce a Bill, and ask permission to bring it to the notice of the House. When permission has been obtained, the Bill is brought before the House for the first reading. The first reading of a Bill is scarcely ever objected to, as there is no debate or .intendment allowed a t this stage; but a date is no for the second reading.
