FDA moves to cut nicotine from cigarettes, in plan first floated under Trump
It will be up to the returning Trump administration to decide whether to finalize the rule.
This is a key step toward the broader vision outlined by FDA: leveraging the tools of product regulation to shift the market away from combustible cigarettes andβfor adults who still want to use nicotineβenable access to properly regulated, non-combustible alternatives such as pouches and e-cigs

Biden ban on menthol cigarettes to be delayed amid political concerns, officials say
Critics of the ban have warned it could anger some Black smokers who favor the products and hurt President Bidenβs reelection prospects.
So infuriating. Tobacco industry meets directly with administration (something most countries prohibit), and administration further delays rule it had promised (in court!) to finalize months ago. Just incredible that this is still happening in 2023.
