Legislative findings. It has been the policy of the state to guarantee and facilitate the public right to know concerning health risks that may be encountered from manufactured products and at the workplace.

There- fore, the legislature further finds that the public has a right to know what chemical substances and product design characteristics are used in the manufacture of cigarettes and what toxic effects, if any, these additives and characteristics have been found to have or are suspected of having. S 2. The public health law is amended by adding a new section 1399-mm-1 to read as follows: S 1399-MM-1. DISCLOSURE BY MANUFACTURERS OF TOBACCO PRODUCTS. 1. FOR THE PURPOSE OF PROTECTING THE PUBLIC HEALTH, ANY MANUFACTURER OF CIGA- RETTES, SNUFF OR CHEWING TOBACCO SOLD IN THIS STATE SHALL PROVIDE THE DEPARTMENT WITH AN ANNUAL REPORT, IN A FORM AND AT A TIME SPECIFIED BY THE DEPARTMENT, WHICH LISTS FOR EACH BRAND OF SUCH PRODUCT SOLD THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION: EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets [ ] is old law to be omitted.
