SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Prohibition of Cigarette Vending 
Machines Accessible to Minors in Federal Buildings and Lands Act''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    The Congress finds that--
            (1) cigarette smoking and the use of smokeless tobacco 
        products continue to represent major health hazards to the 
        Nation, causing more than 420,000 deaths each year;
            (2) cigarette smoking continues to be the single most 
        preventable cause of death and disability in the United States;
            (3) tobacco products contain hazardous additives, gases, 
        and other chemical constituents dangerous to health;
            (4) the use of tobacco products costs the United States 
        more than $50,000,000,000 in direct health care costs, with 
        more than $21,000,000,000 of these costs being paid by 
        government funds;
            (5) tobacco products contain nicotine, a poisonous, 
        addictive drug;
            (6) all States prohibit the sale of tobacco products to 
        minors, but enforcement has been ineffective or nonexistent and 
        tobacco products remain one of the least regulated consumer 
        products in the United States;
            (7) over the past decade, little or no progress has been 
        made in reducing tobacco use among teenagers and recently, 
        teenage smoking rates appear to be rising;
            (8) more than two-thirds of smokers smoke their first 
        cigarette before the age of 14, and 90 percent of adult smokers 
        did so by age 18;
            (9) 516,000,000 packs of cigarettes are consumed by minors 
        annually, at least half of which are illegally sold to minors;
            (10) reliable studies indicate that tobacco use is a 
        gateway to illicit drug use; and
            (11) the Federal Government has a major policy setting role 
        in ensuring that the use of tobacco products among minors is 
        discouraged to the maximum extent possible.
