In Biden administration’s final days, FDA advances proposal to set a nicotine limit on tobacco products
The FDA proposed reducing nicotine levels in tobacco products to help people quit smoking. This step, if implemented, could have a major public health impact and reduce smoking-related diseases. The FDA aims to make tobacco products less addictive, potentially preventing millions from starting smoking and helping current smokers quit. Lower nicotine levels have shown to reduce smoking and withdrawal symptoms. While the proposal is praised for its potential benefits, challenges remain, such as the lengthy approval process and possible industry opposition. The move is seen as crucial in fighting tobacco-related health issues, although not all smokers may quit, given the addictive nature of nicotine.
