3 SEC. 2. FINDINGS. 

4 The Congress finds the following: 

5 (1) The use of tobacco products by the Nation’s 

6 children is a pediatric disease of considerable pro7 portions that results in new generations of tobacco8 dependent children and adults. 

9 (2) A consensus exists within the scientific and 

10 medical communities that tobacco products are in11 herently dangerous and cause cancer, heart disease, 

12 and other serious adverse health effects. 
3

•HR 1376 IH 

1 (3) Nicotine is an addictive drug. 

2 (4) Virtually all new users of tobacco products 

3 are under the minimum legal age to purchase such 

4 products. 

5 (5) Tobacco advertising and marketing con6 tribute significantly to the use of nicotine-containing 

7 tobacco products by adolescents. 

8 (6) Because past efforts to restrict advertising 

9 and marketing of tobacco products have failed ade10 quately to curb tobacco use by adolescents, com11 prehensive restrictions on the sale, promotion, and 

12 distribution of such products are needed. 

13 (7) Federal and State governments have lacked 

14 the legal and regulatory authority and resources 

15 they need to address comprehensively the public 

16 health and societal problems caused by the use of to17 bacco products. 

18 (8) Federal and State public health officials, 

19 the public health community, and the public at large 

20 recognize that the tobacco industry should be subject 

21 to ongoing oversight. 

22 (9) Under article I, section 8 of the Constitu23 tion, the Congress is vested with the responsibility 

24 for regulating interstate commerce and commerce 

25 with Indian tribes. 
4

•HR 1376 IH 

1 (10) The sale, distribution, marketing, adver2 tising, and use of tobacco products are activities in 

3 and substantially affecting interstate commerce be4 cause they are sold, marketed, advertised, and dis5 tributed in interstate commerce on a nationwide 

6 basis, and have a substantial effect on the Nation’s 

7 economy. 

8 (11) The sale, distribution, marketing, adver9 tising, and use of such products substantially affect 

10 interstate commerce through the health care and 

11 other costs attributable to the use of tobacco prod12 ucts. 

13 (12) It is in the public interest for Congress to 

14 enact legislation that provides the Food and Drug 

15 Administration with the authority to regulate to16 bacco products and the advertising and promotion of 

17 such products. The benefits to the American people 

18 from enacting such legislation would be significant 

19 in human and economic terms. 

20 (13) Tobacco use is the foremost preventable 

21 cause of premature death in America. It causes over 

22 400,000 deaths in the United States each year and 

23 approximately 8,600,000 Americans have chronic ill24 nesses related to smoking. 
5

•HR 1376 IH 

1 (14) Reducing the use of tobacco by minors by 

2 50 percent would prevent well over 10,000,000 of to3 day’s children from becoming regular, daily smokers, 

4 saving over 3,000,000 of them from premature 

5 death due to tobacco induced disease. Such a reduc6 tion in youth smoking would also result in approxi7 mately $75,000,000,000 in savings attributable to 

8 reduced health care costs. 

9 (15) Advertising, marketing, and promotion of 

10 tobacco products have been especially directed to at11 tract young persons to use tobacco products and 

12 these efforts have resulted in increased use of such 

13 products by youth. Past efforts to oversee these ac14 tivities have not been successful in adequately pre15 venting such increased use. 

16 (16) In 2002, the tobacco industry spent more 

17 than $12,466,000,000 to attract new users, retain 

18 current users, increase current consumption, and 

19 generate favorable long-term attitudes toward smok20 ing and tobacco use. 

21 (17) Tobacco product advertising often 

22 misleadingly portrays the use of tobacco as socially 

23 acceptable and healthful to minors. 

24 (18) Tobacco product advertising is regularly 

25 seen by persons under the age of 18, and persons 
6

•HR 1376 IH 

1 under the age of 18 are regularly exposed to tobacco 

2 product promotional efforts. 

3 (19) Through advertisements during and spon4 sorship of sporting events, tobacco has become 

5 strongly associated with sports and has become por6 trayed as an integral part of sports and the healthy 

7 lifestyle associated with rigorous sporting activity. 

8 (20) Children are exposed to substantial and 

9 unavoidable tobacco advertising that leads to favor10 able beliefs about tobacco use, plays a role in leading 

11 young people to overestimate the prevalence of to12 bacco use, and increases the number of young people 

13 who begin to use tobacco. 

14 (21) The use of tobacco products in motion pic15 tures and other mass media glamorizes its use for 

16 young people and encourages them to use tobacco 

17 products. 

18 (22) Tobacco advertising expands the size of 

19 the tobacco market by increasing consumption of to20 bacco products including tobacco use by young peo21 ple. 

22 (23) Children are more influenced by tobacco 

23 advertising than adults, they smoke the most adver24 tised brands. 
7

•HR 1376 IH 

1 (24) Tobacco company documents indicate that 

2 young people are an important and often crucial seg3 ment of the tobacco market. Children, who tend to 

4 be more price-sensitive than adults, are influenced 

5 by advertising and promotion practices that result in 

6 drastically reduced cigarette prices. 

7 (25) Comprehensive advertising restrictions will 

8 have a positive effect on the smoking rates of young 

9 people. 

10 (26) Restrictions on advertising are necessary 

11 to prevent unrestricted tobacco advertising from un12 dermining legislation prohibiting access to young 

13 people and providing for education about tobacco 

14 use. 

15 (27) International experience shows that adver16 tising regulations that are stringent and comprehen17 sive have a greater impact on overall tobacco use 

18 and young people’s use than weaker or less com19 prehensive ones. 

20 (28) Text only requirements, although not as 

21 stringent as a ban, will help reduce underage use of 

22 tobacco products while preserving the informational 

23 function of advertising. 
8

•HR 1376 IH 

1 (29) It is in the public interest for Congress to 

2 adopt legislation to address the public health crisis 

3 created by actions of the tobacco industry. 

4 (30) The final regulations promulgated by the 

5 Secretary of Health and Human Services in the Au6 gust 28, 1996, issue of the Federal Register (61 

7 Fed. Reg. 44615–44618) for inclusion as part 897 

8 of title 21, Code of Federal Regulations, are con9 sistent with the First Amendment to the United 

10 States Constitution and with the standards set forth 

11 in the amendments made by this subtitle for the reg12 ulation of tobacco products by the Food and Drug 

13 Administration and the restriction on the sale and 

14 distribution, including access to and the advertising 

15 and promotion of, tobacco products contained in 

16 such regulations are substantially related to accom17 plishing the public health goals of this Act. 

18 (31) The regulations described in paragraph 

19 (30) will directly and materially advance the Federal 

20 Government’s substantial interest in reducing the 

21 number of children and adolescents who use ciga22 rettes and smokeless tobacco and in preventing the 

23 life-threatening health consequences associated with 

24 tobacco use. An overwhelming majority of Americans 

25 who use tobacco products begin using such products 
9

•HR 1376 IH 

1 while they are minors and become addicted to the 

2 nicotine in those products before reaching the age of 

3 18. Tobacco advertising and promotion plays a cru4 cial role in the decision of these minors to begin 

5 using tobacco products. Less restrictive and less 

6 comprehensive approaches have not and will not be 

7 effective in reducing the problems addressed by such 

8 regulations. The reasonable restrictions on the ad9 vertising and promotion of tobacco products con10 tained in such regulations will lead to a significant 

11 decrease in the number of minors using and becom12 ing addicted to those products. 

13 (32) The regulations described in paragraph 

14 (30) impose no more extensive restrictions on com15 munication by tobacco manufacturers and sellers 

16 than are necessary to reduce the number of children 

17 and adolescents who use cigarettes and smokeless to18 bacco and to prevent the life-threatening health con19 sequences associated with tobacco use. Such regula20 tions are narrowly tailored to restrict those adver21 tising and promotional practices which are most like22 ly to be seen or heard by youth and most likely to 

23 entice them into tobacco use, while affording tobacco 

24 manufacturers and sellers ample opportunity to con-
10

•HR 1376 IH 

1 vey information about their products to adult con2 sumers. 

3 (33) Tobacco dependence is a chronic disease, 

4 one that typically requires repeated interventions to 

5 achieve long-term or permanent abstinence. 

6 (34) Because the only known safe alternative to 

7 smoking is cessation, interventions should target all 

8 smokers to help them quit completely. 

9 (35) Tobacco products have been used to facili10 tate and finance criminal activities both domestically 

11 and internationally. Illicit trade of tobacco products 

12 has been linked to organized crime and terrorist 

13 groups. 

14 (36) It is essential that the Food and Drug Ad15 ministration review products sold or distributed for 

16 use to reduce risks or exposures associated with to17 bacco products and that it be empowered to review 

18 any advertising and labeling for such products. It is 

19 also essential that manufacturers, prior to marketing 

20 such products, be required to demonstrate that such 

21 products will meet a series of rigorous criteria, and 

22 will benefit the health of the population as a whole, 

23 taking into account both users of tobacco products 

24 and persons who do not currently use tobacco prod25 ucts. 
11

•HR 1376 IH 

1 (37) Unless tobacco products that purport to 

2 reduce the risks to the public of tobacco use actually 

3 reduce such risks, those products can cause substan4 tial harm to the public health to the extent that the 

5 individuals, who would otherwise not consume to6 bacco products or would consume such products less, 

7 use tobacco products purporting to reduce risk. 

8 Those who use products sold or distributed as modi9 fied risk products that do not in fact reduce risk, 

10 rather than quitting or reducing their use of tobacco 

11 products, have a substantially increased likelihood of 

12 suffering disability and premature death. The costs 

13 to society of the widespread use of products sold or 

14 distributed as modified risk products that do not in 

15 fact reduce risk or that increase risk include thou16 sands of unnecessary deaths and injuries and huge 

17 costs to our health care system. 

18 (38) As the National Cancer Institute has 

19 found, many smokers mistakenly believe that ‘‘low 

20 tar’’ and ‘‘light’’ cigarettes cause fewer health prob21 lems than other cigarettes. As the National Cancer 

22 Institute has also found, mistaken beliefs about the 

23 health consequences of smoking ‘‘low tar’’ and 

24 ‘‘light’’ cigarettes can reduce the motivation to quit 
12

•HR 1376 IH 

1 smoking entirely and thereby lead to disease and 

2 death. 

3 (39) Recent studies have demonstrated that 

4 there has been no reduction in risk on a population5 wide basis from ‘‘low tar’’ and ‘‘light’’ cigarettes and 

6 such products may actually increase the risk of to7 bacco use. 

8 (40) The dangers of products sold or distrib9 uted as modified risk tobacco products that do not 

10 in fact reduce risk are so high that there is a com11 pelling governmental interest in insuring that state12 ments about modified risk tobacco products are com13 plete, accurate, and relate to the overall disease risk 

14 of the product. 

15 (41) As the Federal Trade Commission has 

16 found, consumers have misinterpreted advertise17 ments in which one product is claimed to be less 

18 harmful than a comparable product, even in the 

19 presence of disclosures and advisories intended to 

20 provide clarification. 

21 (42) Permitting manufacturers to make unsub22 stantiated statements concerning modified risk to23 bacco products, whether express or implied, even if 

24 accompanied by disclaimers would be detrimental to 

25 the public health. 
13

•HR 1376 IH 

1 (43) The only way to effectively protect the 

2 public health from the dangers of unsubstantiated 

3 modified risk tobacco products is to empower the 

4 Food and Drug Administration to require that prod5 ucts that tobacco manufacturers sold or distributed 

6 for risk reduction be approved in advance of mar7 keting, and to require that the evidence relied on to 

8 support approval of these products is rigorous. 

9 SEC. 3. PURPOSE. 

10 The purposes of this Act are— 

11 (1) to provide authority to the Food and Drug 

12 Administration to regulate tobacco products under 

13 the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21

15 Federal regulatory authority with respect to the 

16 manufacture, marketing, and distribution of tobacco 

17 products; 

18 (2) to ensure that the Food and Drug Adminis19 tration has the authority to address issues of par20 ticular concern to public health officials, especially 

21 the use of tobacco by young people and dependence 

22 on tobacco; 

23 (3) to authorize the Food and Drug Adminis24 tration to set national standards controlling the 

25 manufacture of tobacco products and the identity,

8 with the authority to regulate the levels of tar, nico9 tine, and other harmful components of tobacco prod10 ucts; 

11 (6) in order to ensure that consumers are better 

12 informed, to require tobacco product manufacturers 

13 to disclose research which has not previously been 

14 made available, as well as research generated in the 

15 future, relating to the health and dependency effects 

16 or safety of tobacco products; 

17 (7) to continue to permit the sale of tobacco 

18 products to adults in conjunction with measures to 

19 ensure that they are not sold or accessible to under20 age purchasers; 

21 (8) to impose appropriate regulatory controls on 

22 the tobacco industry; 

23 (9) to promote cessation to reduce disease risk 

24 and the social costs associated with tobacco related 

25 diseases; and

24 promotion of a tobacco product consistent with and 

25 to full extent permitted by the first amendment to 
46

•HR 1376 IH 

1 the Constitution. The finding as to whether such 

2 regulation would be appropriate for the protection of 

3 the public health shall be determined with respect to 

4 the risks and benefits to the population as a whole, 

5 including users and non-users of the tobacco prod6 uct, and taking into account—

7 ‘‘(A) the increased or decreased likelihood 

8 that existing users of tobacco products will stop 

9 using such products; and 

10 ‘‘(B) the increased or decreased likelihood 

11 that those who do not use tobacco products will 

12 start using such products.

13 written publications which shall be permitted to 

14 contain advertising. Notwithstanding the pre15 ceding sentence, if the Secretary finds that such 

16 treatment of matchbooks is not appropriate for 

17 the protection of the public health, the Sec18 retary may determine by regulation that match19 books shall not be considered adult written pub20 lications.

10 if the Secretary finds (and sets forth the 

11 basis for such finding as part of or accom12 panying such denial) that 1 or more 

13 grounds for denial specified in paragraph

77

•HR 1376 IH 

1 mitted to the Secretary as part of the application 

2 and any other information before the Secretary with 

3 respect to such tobacco product, the Secretary finds 

4 that—

5 ‘‘(A) there is a lack of a showing that per6 mitting such tobacco product to be marketed 

7 would be appropriate for the protection of the 

8 public health; 

9 ‘‘(B) the methods used in, or the facilities 

10 or controls used for, the manufacture, proc11 essing, or packing of such tobacco product do 

12 not conform to the requirements of section

18 conform in all respects to a tobacco product 

19 standard in effect under section 907, compli20 ance with which is a condition to approval of 

21 the application, and there is a lack of adequate 

22 information to justify the deviation from such 

23 standard.

25 application shall, insofar as the Secretary determines 
78

•HR 1376 IH 

1 to be practicable, be accompanied by a statement in2 forming the applicant of the measures required to 

3 place such application in approvable form (which 

4 measures may include further research by the appli5 cant in accordance with 1 or more protocols pre6 scribed by the Secretary). 

7 ‘‘(4) BASIS FOR FINDING.—For purposes of 

8 this section, the finding as to whether approval of a 

9 tobacco product is appropriate for the protection of 

10 the public health shall be determined with respect to 

11 the risks and benefits to the population as a whole, 

12 including users and nonusers of the tobacco product, 

13 and taking into account—

14 ‘‘(A) the increased or decreased likelihood 

15 that existing users of tobacco products will stop 

16 using such products; and 

17 ‘‘(B) the increased or decreased likelihood 

18 that those who do not use tobacco products will 

19 start using such products. 

20 ‘‘(5) BASIS FOR ACTION.—

21 ‘‘(A) INVESTIGATIONS.—For purposes of 

22 paragraph (2)(A), whether permitting a tobacco 

23 product to be marketed would be appropriate 

24 for the protection of the public health shall, 

25 when appropriate, be determined on the basis of 
79

1 well-controlled investigations, which may in2 clude 1 or more clinical investigations by ex3 perts qualified by training and experience to 

4 evaluate the tobacco product. 

5 ‘‘(B) OTHER EVIDENCE.—If the Secretary 

6 determines that there exists valid scientific evi7 dence (other than evidence derived from inves8 tigations described in subparagraph (A)) which 

9 is sufficient to evaluate the tobacco product the 

10 Secretary may authorize that the determination 

11 for purposes of paragraph (2)(A) be made on 

12 the basis of such evidence. 

13 ‘‘(d) WITHDRAWAL AND TEMPORARY SUSPENSION.—

14 ‘‘(1) IN GENERAL.—The Secretary shall, upon 

15 obtaining, where appropriate, advice on scientific 

16 matters from an advisory committee, and after due 

17 notice and opportunity for informal hearing to the 

18 holder of an approved application for a tobacco 

19 product, issue an order withdrawing approval of the 

20 application if the Secretary finds—

21 ‘‘(A) that the continued marketing of such 

22 tobacco product no longer is appropriate for the 

23 protection of the public health; 
80

•HR 1376 IH 

1 ‘‘(B) that the application contained or was 

2 accompanied by an untrue statement of a mate3 rial fact; 

4 ‘‘(C) that the applicant—

5 ‘‘(i) has failed to establish a system 

6 for maintaining records, or has repeatedly 

7 or deliberately failed to maintain records 

8 or to make reports, required by an applica9 ble regulation under section 909; 

10 ‘‘(ii) has refused to permit access to, 

11 or copying or verification of, such records 

12 as required by section 704; or 

13 ‘‘(iii) has not complied with the re14 quirements of section 905; 

15 ‘‘(D) on the basis of new information be16 fore the Secretary with respect to such tobacco 

17 product, evaluated together with the evidence 

18 before the Secretary when the application was 

19 approved, that the methods used in, or the fa20 cilities and controls used for, the manufacture, 

21 processing, packing, or installation of such to22 bacco product do not conform with the require23 ments of section 906(e) and were not brought 

24 into conformity with such requirements within a 
81

•HR 1376 IH 

1 reasonable time after receipt of written notice 

2 from the Secretary of nonconformity; 

3 ‘‘(E) on the basis of new information be4 fore the Secretary, evaluated together with the 

5 evidence before the Secretary when the applica6 tion was approved, that the labeling of such to7 bacco product, based on a fair evaluation of all 

8 material facts, is false or misleading in any par9 ticular and was not corrected within a reason10 able time after receipt of written notice from 

11 the Secretary of such fact; or 

12 ‘‘(F) on the basis of new information be13 fore the Secretary, evaluated together with the 

14 evidence before the Secretary when the applica15 tion was approved, that such tobacco product is 

16 not shown to conform in all respects to a to17 bacco product standard which is in effect under 

18 section 907, compliance with which was a con19 dition to approval of the application, and that 

20 there is a lack of adequate information to jus21 tify the deviation from such standard.

3 subsection (e). 

4 ‘‘(3) TEMPORARY SUSPENSION.—If, after pro5 viding an opportunity for an informal hearing, the 

6 Secretary determines there is reasonable probability 

7 that the continuation of distribution of a tobacco 

8 product under an approved application would cause 

9 serious, adverse health consequences or death, that 

10 is greater than ordinarily caused by tobacco prod11 ucts on the market, the Secretary shall by order 

12 temporarily suspend the approval of the application 

13 approved under this section. If the Secretary issues 

14 such an order, the Secretary shall proceed expedi15 tiously under paragraph (1) to withdraw such appli16 cation.
