	Criminal Justice Policy Foundation: Books: Smoke in Their Eyes: Lessons in Movement Leadership from the Tobacco Wars
		It is to bad that over time my and many others efforts have been counteracted not only by the clever tactics of the tobacco industry and its allies and surrogates but also by our supposed comrades in arms within the tobacco control movement itself.
		And finally, we have the dismal final results, essentially the failure, of the federal Synar amendment due to overt and clandestine tobacco and retail industry sabotage tactics along with bureaucratic bumbling, incompetence and betrayal by a key federal agency and half-heartedly motivated Clinton administration.
		Pertschuk's book gives an inside analysis of how the movement's brightest hour suddenly turned into its darkest moment when some of the guys in white hats became consumed by their own righteousness and self-importance, and wanted victory on their terms or on no terms at all.

	Enforcing no Tobacco Sales to Minors: Few States Do It Despite Federal Regulations (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		When the Synar Amendment was adopted, state enforcement of tobacco sales laws was minimal at best, and on average 76 percent of attempted illegal tobacco purchases were successful, with little variation across states.
		To determine if the states and DHHS were in compliance with the requirements of the Synar Amendment and the regulations, this project conducted an independent audit of the federal fiscal year 1997, 1998 and 1999 substance abuse block grant funding applications from 59 states and territories.
		Although well-intentioned, the Synar Amendment was clumsily drafted in that it placed the threat of reduced funding on state substance abuse agencies that had no authority or funding to enforce tobacco access laws.
