Thank you, Chair.
Thank you, everyone.
I'd just like to add some clarification to an earlier piece of testimony on the claims about the relative lack of tobacco advertising in sports.
Tobacco companies used to be major sponsors of Major League Baseball. They were sponsors of World Cup skiing up until the 1980s. The World Cup was actually called the Export “A” Cup because it was sponsored by Macdonald Tobacco. There was an official cigarette of the 1984 Olympics. Cigarette advertising used to be much more pervasive than we give it credit for.
Mr. Lund, something kind of stood out here. You were concerned about the time periods. You said that this bill would end up banning “all food and beverage advertising” within certain time periods. How did you come to that conclusion?
