FDA Proposes Nation’s First Limit on Nicotine Levels in Tobacco Products

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announces a groundbreaking proposal to limit nicotine levels in cigarettes and other tobacco products. The agency aims to make tobacco less addictive, helping millions of Americans quit smoking and preventing others from starting. If finalized, the United States would become the first country to impose such restrictions on nicotine content.

The FDA states that the proposed rule is a critical step in combating the public health crisis caused by tobacco use. The measure seeks to reduce nicotine levels to a point where tobacco products are no longer addictive, potentially saving lives and cutting healthcare. . .
