FDA Proposes Nicotine Limit for Cigarettes and Other Tobacco

The FDA has announced a proposed rule to remove most nicotine from cigarettes and other tobacco products—-but the incoming Trump administration could drop the plan.

The FDA today announced a formal proposal to reduce nicotine in cigarettes and other combustible tobacco products below addictive levels. Under the rule, if it is finalized, the only legal combustible cigarettes would be so-called very low nicotine (VLN) cigarettes, which contain about five percent as much nicotine as standard cigarettes.

The rule would not apply to non-combustible products like vapes, nicotine pouches, heated tobacco products, or smokeless tobacco.

The rule passed review by the Biden White House’s Office of Management and Budget (OMB) earlier this month. Implementation of the final rule, however, would require buy-in from the incoming Trump administration, which could also quash the proposal.

I already smoke up to 40 cigs a day, so reducing them would make me want to smoke 80-100 a day.
