6     (410 ILCS 85/2)  (from Ch. 111 1/2, par. 8232)
7     Sec. 2. Legislative Findings. The The General Assembly
8 finds that there is a need for public information about the
9 risk of harm to unborn children when women smoke cigarettes
10 during pregnancy. The United States Surgeon General has
11 recommended abstinence from cigarette smoking during
12 pregnancy. Since the adverse effects of cigarette smoking
13 during pregnancy are preventable, the General Assembly finds
14 that it is in the public interest to provide warnings at places
15 where cigarettes are sold about the risks of cigarette smoking
16 during pregnancy.
