Synar Reports
In July 1992, Congress enacted the Alcohol, Drug Abuse, and Mental Health Administration Reorganization Act (PL 102-321), which includes the Synar Amendment (section 1926) aimed at decreasing youth access to tobacco. This amendment, named for its sponsor, Congressman Mike Synar of Oklahoma, requires states to enact and enforce laws prohibiting the sale or distribution of tobacco products to individuals under the age of 18. Public Law 116-94, signed on December 20, 2019, superseded this legislation and increased the minimum age for tobacco sales from 18 to 21. States must comply with the Synar Amendment in order to receive their full Substance Use Prevention, Treatment, and Recovery Services Block Grant (SUBG) awards.
The annual Synar reports detail trends in sales of tobacco to minors and the success of state compliance with the Synar Amendment. These reports identify common characteristics among states that reach compliance goals and stress the importance of prevention in decreasing teen tobacco use.FFY 2024 SYNAR Annual ReportIn July 1992, Congress enacted the Alcohol, Drug Abuse, and Mental Health Administration Reorganization Act (PL 102-321), which includes the Synar Amendment (section 1926) aimed at decreasing youth access to tobacco.
