Proposed Project

    List of Ingredients Added to Tobacco in the Manufacture of 
Cigarette Products--(0920-0210)--Renewal--The Office of Smoking and 
Health (OSH)--Cigarette smoking is the leading preventable cause of 
premature death and disability in our Nation. Each year more than 
400,000 premature deaths occur as the result of cigarette smoking 
related diseases.
    The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Office on 
Smoking and Health (OSH) has the primary responsibility for the 
Department of Health and Human Services' (HHS) smoking and health 
program. HHS's overall goal is to reduce death and disability resulting 
from cigarette smoking and other forms of tobacco use through programs 
of information, education and research.
    The Comprehensive Smoking Education Act of 1984 (15 U.S.C. 1336 
Pub. L. 98-474) requires each person who manufactures, packages, or 
imports cigarettes to provide the Secretary of Health and Human 
Services with a list of ingredients added to tobacco in the manufacture 
of cigarettes. This legislation also authorizes HHS to undertake 
research, and to report to the Congress (as deemed appropriate), on the 
health effects of the ingredients. The total annual burden is 2,660 
hours.
