Directs the Center to conduct certain activities, including to study tobacco product additives and disclose their health risks to consumers and to establish ten model State programs to enforce laws concerning the sale of tobacco products to minors. Authorizes appropriations for FY 1991 through 1993. Transfers functions of the Federal Interagency Committee on Smoking and Health to the Center. Amends the Comprehensive Smoking Education Act to require the establishment of an outreach program to youth about the health consequences of smoking. Directs the Center to make grants: (1) for public information campaigns concerning the use of tobacco products; (2) to States for anti-tobacco use programs and programs to limit youth access to tobacco products; and (3) to unions and others to attempt to reduce the incidence of smoking among workers. Amends the Drug-Free Schools and Communities Act of 1986 and the Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1988 to add coverage of tobacco under such Acts. Authorizes appropriations to the Secretary of Education to make grants, distributed in accordance with the Augustus F. Hawkins-Robert T. Stafford Elementary and Secondary School Improvement Amendments of 1988, to establish smoke-free schools. Requires the establishment of a program, with an Interagency Committee on Smoking and Health, to inform the public of any dangers to human health presented by cigarette smoking and by smokeless tobacco products. Requires related reports to the Congress. Details administrative requirements of grants. Imposes criminal penalties for adulteration and misbranding of tobacco products, allowing seizure of such products, and penalties against retailers engaged in a pattern of sale to minors. Declares tobacco products to be misbranded for not disclosing to the public information on additives and harmful constituents. Describes conditions which constitute adulteration of tobacco products, including if the product contains any filthy, putrid, or decomposed substance. Makes it unlawful to manufacture, import, or package any tobacco product unless the person has provided the Center: (1) a complete list of tobacco additives and the quantity of each; and (2) a complete list of all brands that includes the levels of tar, nicotine, carbon monoxide, and other constituents for each brand.
