He Invented the Nicotine Patch; Now, He Says the FDA Can Do More to Help Smokers

The Biden administration’s last-minute proposal to drastically reduce nicotine levels in cigarettes was seen by many as a political move rather than a serious public health effort. However, experts like Jed Rose, head of the Rose Research Center, highlight the need for scientific progress and better public education to address smoking addiction effectively. Rose emphasizes that smoking isn’t just about nicotine—it’s also tied to sensory cues that create satisfaction. His decades of research, which began unexpectedly during his studies on anxiety, underscore the complexity of smoking behavior and the importance of targeted cessation strategies.
