FDA plans to slash nicotine levels in cigarettes

When I returned to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration last year, it was immediately clear that tackling tobacco use – and cigarette smoking in particular – would be one of the most important actions I could take to advance public health. With that in mind, we’re taking a pivotal step today that could ultimately bring us closer to our vision of a world where combustible cigarettes would no longer create or sustain addiction – making it harder for future generations to become addicted in the first place and allowing more currently addicted smokers to quit or switch to potentially less harmful products. As part of our comprehensive plan on tobacco and nicotine regulation announced last summer, we’re issuing an advance notice of proposed rulemaking (ANPRM) to explore a product standard to lower nicotine in cigarettes to minimally or non-addictive levels. This new regulatory step advances a comprehensive policy framework that we believe could help avoid millions of tobacco-related deaths across the country.

Like some want to do with guns, making them illegal will stop the problem...

Just refuse to cover the healthcare costs of any tobacco-related illnesses, of which there are hundreds.

Never smoked. Chew nicotine gum constantly. 2 pieces of 4mg. It's a little "pick me up".

So they're going to make people inhale more smoke, you know the worst part of it, to get the same feeling they want?
I don't think this is going to end the way they think it will. But I'm interested in buying more Altria now.

Good job. I quit dipping Copenhagen cold turkey a few years ago. It was rough but worth it.

No. Smoking is for poors. You need to be dictated to.

And they can all be caused by things other than tobacco use.

God this is why when legalization of marijuana inevitably occurs, you can bet your bottom dollar they're going to regulate and tax the shite out of it.

I bet there is a big correlation in the drop in percentage of Americans who smoke with the increase percentage of Americans who are obese.

I quit smoking daily 10 years ago. But it’s almost impossible for me to not smoke after getting shite hammered.
