Skepticism Over FDA Bid to Mandate Very Low-Nicotine Cigarettes

The FDA proposed capping nicotine levels in tobacco products at a low level to reduce addiction and smoking-related harm. While the agency aims to decrease dependence, experts have concerns about potential unintended consequences, like users seeking higher-nicotine sources. Critics argue against the mandate, fearing a growth in illicit markets and limited harm reduction options. Correcting misconceptions on nicotine and risks is crucial. Implementing the plan would require accessible reduced-risk products and accurate information. The feasibility and effectiveness of such a substantial intervention remain uncertain in the US context.
