FDA announces comprehensive regulatory plan to shift trajectory of tobacco-related disease, death
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration today announced a new comprehensive plan for tobacco and nicotine regulation that will serve as a multi-year
roadmap to better protect kids and significantly reduce tobacco-related disease and death. The approach places nicotine, and the issue of addiction,
at the center of the agency’s tobacco regulation efforts. The goal is to ensure that the FDA has the proper scientific and regulatory foundation to
efficiently and effectively implement the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act. To make certain that the FDA is striking an appropriate
balance between regulation and encouraging development of innovative tobacco products that may be less dangerous than cigarettes, the agency is also
providing targeted relief on some timelines described in the May 2016 final rule that extended the FDA’s authority to additional tobacco products.
The agency will also seek input on critical public health issues such as the role of flavors in tobacco products.
