Senate Passes Landmark Bill to Regulate Tobacco - NYTimes.com

Great news -
Senate Passes Landmark Bill to Regulate Tobacco - NYTimes.com: However this doesn't make sense "The Congressional Budget Office had estimated that the F.D.A. legislation would reduce youth smoking by 11 percent and adult smoking by 2 percent over the next decade beyond the declines that had already resulted from public education, higher taxes and smoke-free indoor space laws." How can a 11 percent reduction in children only result in a 2 percent decline in adults? Lag time doesn't seem to make sense. Great new regardless.
