Background and Brief Description The oral use of smokeless tobacco (SLT) products represents a significant health risk which can cause cancer and a number of non-cancerous oral conditions, and can lead to nicotine addiction and dependence. Furthermore, SLT use is not a safe substitute for cigarette smoking. The Comprehensive Smokeless Tobacco Health Education Act of 1986 (15 U.S.C. 4401 et seq., P. L. 99–252) requires each person who manufactures, packages, or imports smokeless tobacco (SLT) to provide the Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) with a list of ingredients added to tobacco in the manufacture of smokeless tobacco products. This legislation also authorizes HHS to undertake research, and submit an annual report to Congress (as deemed appropriate) discussing the health effects of these ingredients in smokeless tobacco products. HHS has delegated responsibility for the implementation of this Act to CDC’s Office on Smoking and Health (OSH). Respondents report the required information to CDC once per year according to Tobacco Ingredient and Nicotine Reporting instructions posted on the OSH Web site. Changes effective with this reinstatement relate to the redesign of the OSH Web site. There are no costs to respondents other than their time. The total estimated annualized burden hours are 18,843.
