Gun ownership in New York City could soon come with a warning — it’s dangerous to your health.

The City Council Public Safety Committee voted 6-1 Monday to require the NYPD to hand out written warnings about the risks of gun ownership to new applicants for firearm permits.

“Just like the [Surgeon General’s] warning that you see on the side of cigarette packs have changed the perception of smoking, these gun warnings are the first step to changing the public’s conversation,” said Councilwoman Vanessa Gibson, a co-sponsor of the gun bill.

“We would be one of the first major jurisdictions to enact this type of legislation.”

A 2014 Gallup poll showed 63 percent of Americans believe keeping a gun in a home makes it safe.

But Gibson (D-Bronx) cited other studies that show a link between gun ownership to higher rates of domestic violence homicides and suicides.

Under the current system, the NYPD already hands applicants reading materials outlining federal, state and local gun laws.

The full Council is expected to vote on the bill as early as Tuesday.

The committee also approved two resolutions aimed at curbing gun violence, including one telling Congress the city opposes federal legislation that would allow gun license holders in one state to carry weapons into another state.

Steven Matteo (R-Staten Island), the Republican leader, was the only committee member to oppose the committee’s legislative package.
