SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

This Act may be cited as the ''Truth in Cigarette Labeling Act of
2006''.

SEC. 2. PROHIBITION ON CLAIMS REGARDING TAR OR NICOTINE YIELD LEVELS OF
CIGARETTES.

(a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
(1) Cigarette manufacturers (through use of words,
graphics, and color) have sold, distributed, and falsely
marketed brands of cigarettes to consumers as ''light'', ''low-
tar'', ''ultra light'', ''mild'', ''natural'', and ''low-
nicotine'' cigarettes, implying that the cigarettes are less
harmful than other brands of cigarettes.
(2) The National Cancer Institute has found that many
smokers mistakenly believe that cigarettes with the labels
described in paragraph (1) cause fewer health problems than
other cigarettes, and this belief misleads smokers who may
choose these cigarettes as an alternative to not smoking.
(3) The Federal Trade Commission has concluded that
''cigarette tar and nicotine ratings cannot predict the amount
of tar and nicotine [a person] get[s] from any particular
cigarette.''.
(4) Recent studies have demonstrated that there has been no
reduction in risk on a population-wide basis from the
cigarettes described in paragraph (1), and such cigarettes may
actually increase the risk of tobacco use.
(5) The dangers of marketing one brand of cigarettes as
less harmful than another brand of cigarettes when in fact
there are no reduced risks, is a compelling reason for the
Government to ensure statements, claims, or other
representations about cigarettes are truthful and not
deceptive.
(b) Definitions.--In this section:
(1) Health descriptor.--The term ''health descriptor''
includes the words ''light'', ''low'', ''low tar'',
''ultralight'', ''mild'', ''natural'', or any other word, or
any graphic or color, which reasonably could be expected to
result in a consumer believing that smoking such brand may
result in a lower risk of disease or be less hazardous to
health than smoking another brand of cigarette.
(2) Brand.--The term ''brand'' means a variety of tobacco
product distinguished by the type of tobacco used, tar content,
nicotine content, the flavoring used, size, filtration,
packaging, logo, registered trademark or brand name,
identifiable pattern of colors, or any combination thereof.
(3) Cigarette.--The term ''cigarette'' has the meaning
given such term in section 3(1) of the Federal Cigarette
Labeling and Advertising Act (15 U.S.C. 1332(1)), but also
includes tobacco, in any form, that is functional in the
product, which, because of its appearance, the type of tobacco
used in the filler, or its packaging and labeling, is likely to
be offered to, or purchased by, consumers as a cigarette or as
roll-your-own tobacco.
(4) Roll-your-own tobacco.--The term ''roll-your-own
tobacco'' means any tobacco which, because of its appearance,
type, packaging, or labeling, is suitable for use and likely to
be offered to, or purchased by, consumers as tobacco for making
cigarettes.
(c) Prohibition on Use of Health Descriptors and Federal Trade
Commission Testing Method.--
(1) In general.--Notwithstanding any other provision of
law, effective 120 days after the date of the enactment of this
Act, a cigarette manufacturer may not use a health descriptor
on the label or the advertising of any brand of cigarette.
(2) Prohibition on use of federal trade commission testing
method.--Notwithstanding any other provision of law, effective
120 days after the date of the enactment of this Act, a
cigarette manufacturer may not make any claims or any other
representations based on data derived from the cigarette
testing method established by the Federal Trade Commission in
effect on the day before the date of the enactment of this Act.
(3) Enforcement.--
(A) Unfair or deceptive act or practice.--A
violation of the prohibition described in paragraphs
(1) or (2) shall be treated as a violation of a rule
defining an unfair or deceptive act or practice
prescribed under section 18(a)(1)(B) of the Federal
Trade Commission Act (15 U.S.C. 57a(a)(1)(B)).
(B) Actions by the commission.--The Federal Trade
Commission shall enforce this section in the same
manner, by the same means, and with the same
jurisdiction, powers, and duties as though all
applicable terms and provisions of the Federal Trade
Commission Act (15 U.S.C. 41 et seq.) were incorporated
into and made a part of this section.
