Publishing timestamp: 2018-03-15 13:31:00
Summary
The FDA is taking steps towards implementing a rule about the maximum level of nicotine in cigarettes, with the goal of making them minimally or nonaddictive. The tobacco industry is preparing for potential changes, including the introduction of less harmful products like e-cigarettes and heat-not-burn devices. The process could take years before a final rule is issued and implemented.
