What obstacles have States encountered in their efforts to comply with the Synar Regulation, and how have they been addressed?
Enforcement: Tying the implementation of the Synar Regulation to SAPT Block Grants has created a number of serious administrative and strategic obstacles for States. Few of the block grant recipients, the Single State Authorities for substance abuse, had any enforcement authority for tobacco in their States. In addition, many State enforcement agencies designated by State law or appointed by Governors had no vested interest in enforcing State youth access laws. As a result, between 1991 and 1996, the Single State Authorities for substance abuse worked creatively and collaboratively with other State agencies to develop organizational relationships that allowed for effective enforcement of State youth tobacco control laws.
