retary nonetheless require depository institutions to 
file such exemption forms and annual reviews. 
(9) The Comptroller General finds that the re-
quirement that depository institutions file forms to 
exempt government entities and depository institu-
tions, and conduct annual reviews of related infor-
mation, discourages the use of such exemptions and 
creates cash transaction reports that are of little or 
no value to law enforcement efforts. 
(10) The Comptroller General recommends 
eliminating the requirement that depository institu-
tions file exemption forms and annually review the 
supporting information for government entities and 
depository institutions. 
(11) The Comptroller General finds that requir-
ing depository institutions to wait 12 months before 
exempting certain customers with large numbers of 
cash transactions may needlessly create cash trans-
action reports that are not highly useful to law en-
forcement efforts. 
(12) The Comptroller General finds that allow-
ing depository institutions to exempt clients with fre-
quent cash transactions within a time period of less 
than a year could avoid the filing of unnecessary 
cash transaction reports.

products or would consume such products less, use to-
bacco products purporting to reduce risk. Those who 
use products sold or distributed as modified risk prod-
ucts that do not in fact reduce risk, rather than quit-
ting or reducing their use of tobacco products, have 
a substantially increased likelihood of suffering dis-
ability and premature death. The costs to society of 
the widespread use of products sold or distributed as 
modified risk products that do not in fact reduce risk 
or that increase risk include thousands of unnecessary 
deaths and injuries and huge costs to our health care 
system. 
(38) As the National Cancer Institute has found, 
many smokers mistakenly believe that ‘‘low tar’’ and 
‘‘light’’ cigarettes cause fewer health problems than 
other cigarettes. As the National Cancer Institute has 
also found, mistaken beliefs about the health con-
sequences of smoking ‘‘low tar’’ and ‘‘light’’ cigarettes 
can reduce the motivation to quit smoking entirely 
and thereby lead to disease and death. 
(39) Recent studies have demonstrated that there 
has been no reduction in risk on a population-wide 
basis from ‘‘low tar’’ and ‘‘light’’ cigarettes, and such 
products may actually increase the risk of tobacco 
use.
