A BILL FOR
SB0850 LRB096 06911 RPM 16997 b
AN ACT concerning health.
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
represented in the General Assembly:
Section 5. The Cigarette Health Warning Act is amended by
changing Section 2 as follows:
(410 ILCS 85/2) (from Ch. 111 1/2, par. 8232)
Sec. 2. Legislative Findings. The The General Assembly
finds that there is a need for public information about the
risk of harm to unborn children when women smoke cigarettes
during pregnancy. The United States Surgeon General has
recommended abstinence from cigarette smoking during
pregnancy. Since the adverse effects of cigarette smoking
during pregnancy are preventable, the General Assembly finds
that it is in the public interest to provide warnings at places
where cigarettes are sold about the risks of cigarette smoking
during pregnancy.
