It’s pretty unbelievable that something well known to cause harm was under so little regulation before. The bill requires tobacco companies to disclose the contents of tobacco products, as well as changes in products and research about their health effects ... I had assumed that they had to do this all along. Glad to see that knowledge and information now has the upper hand against company propaganda. It also bans terms such as “light” and “low-tar” in advertising that mislead consumers into believing that certain cigarettes are safer. This is very good news, it’s long past time for this.
