KAVANAGH -- read once and referred to the Commit- tee on Health AN ACT to amend the public health law, in relation to requiring ciga- rette manufacturers to disclose the chemical substances used in the manufacture of cigarettes THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM- BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. Legislative findings. It has been the policy of the state to guarantee and facilitate the public right to know concerning health risks that may be encountered from manufactured products and at the workplace. The legislature finds that literally thousands of chemical substances are routinely utilized in the manufacture of cigarettes as burn retardants, preservatives, flavor enhancers and for other aesthetic purposes and that such chemicals may have toxic effects for both smokers and nonsmokers. Therefore, the legislature further finds that the public has a right to know the chemical substances used in the manufacture of cigarettes and what toxic effects, if any, these additives have been found to have or are suspected of having. S 2. Article 13-F of the public health law is amended by adding a new section 1399-mm-1 to read as follows: S 1399-MM-1. DISCLOSURE BY MANUFACTURERS OF TOBACCO PRODUCTS. 1. FOR THE PURPOSE OF PROTECTING THE PUBLIC HEALTH, ANY MANUFACTURER OF CIGA- RETTES, SNUFF OR CHEWING TOBACCO SOLD IN THIS STATE SHALL PROVIDE THE DEPARTMENT WITH AN ANNUAL REPORT, IN A FORM AND AT A TIME SPECIFIED BY THE DEPARTMENT, WHICH LISTS FOR EACH BRAND OF SUCH PRODUCT SOLD THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION: (A) THE IDENTITY OF ANY ADDED CONSTITUENT OTHER THAN TOBACCO OR WATER INCLUDING RECONSTITUTED TOBACCO SHEET MADE WHOLLY FROM TOBACCO, TO BE LISTED IN DESCENDING ORDER ACCORDING TO WEIGHT, MEASURE, OR NUMERICAL COUNT; EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets [ ] is old law to be omitted.
