        with four of the most popular tours heavily attended by teens.
        July 5th through August 16th truth(R) will hit 45 cities in 25
        states and be part of the granddaddy of all summer tours
        Lollapalooza; the edgy car extravaganza Hot Import Nights; the

        truth(R) was launched in February 2000 and is the largest
        national smoking prevention campaign for youth. The campaign
        exposes the tactics of tobacco marketing and allows teens to
        make informed choices about tobacco use by giving them the
        facts about the tobacco industry and its products. The
        American Legacy Foundation,(R) which provides strategic
        direction and funding for the campaign, was created as a
        result of the 1998 Master Settlement Agreement between the
        tobacco industry and 46 states.
