Note also that if Prop 188 passes, it will be practically impossible to
prosecute a vendor for selling tobacco products to minors, according to an
editorial in today's San Jose Mercury News. By voting against Prop 188,
voters will be giving the nod to the January, 1995 implementation of AB 13, a
real anti-smoking law with real penalties for selling to kids. That's an idea
whose time is long overdue.

AB 13 sailed through the State House and was signed without delay by the
Governor. Clearly, Proposition 188 is a tobacco company attempt to sabotage
this genuine anti-smoking legislation. NO on 188!
