SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

Congress finds that--
(1) environmental tobacco smoke comes from secondhand smoke
exhaled by smokers and sidestream smoke emitted from the
burning of cigarettes, cigars, and pipes;
(2) since citizens of the United States spend up to 90
percent of a day indoors, there is a significant potential for
exposure to environmental tobacco smoke from indoor air;
(3) exposure to environmental tobacco smoke occurs in
schools, public buildings, and other indoor facilities;
(4) recent scientific studies have concluded that exposure
to environmental tobacco smoke is a cause of lung cancer in
healthy nonsmokers and is responsible for acute and chronic
respiratory problems and other health impacts in sensitive
populations (including children);
(5) the health risks posed by environmental tobacco smoke
exceed the risks posed by many environmental pollutants
regulated by the Environmental Protection Agency; and
(6) according to information released by the Environmental
Protection Agency, environmental tobacco smoke results in a
loss to the economy of over $3,000,000,000 per year.
