Tobacco Companies Must List Harmful Ingredients

The Food and Drug Administration says it wants the tobacco industry to tell consumers about every harmful chemical in cigarettes - they are requiring companies to list harmful ingredients on packaging.
The agency also says any claims of a "reduced harm" product, such as smokeless tobacco, has to be backed up. There are more than 7000 chemicals in tobacco products and the FDA says 93 of them are harmful. The FDA wants the new packaging by April of 2013.
