Title: Tobacco Product Standard for Nicotine Level of Certain Tobacco Products; Request for Information 
Abstract:

This ANPRM would explain that FDA is considering whether it would be appropriate to develop a product standard that would set a maximum nicotine level in certain combusted tobacco products so that they are minimally addictive.  Such a standard, if ultimately promulgated, could help limit the addictiveness of the most toxic and widely used tobacco products, which would have significant public health benefits for youth, young adults, and adults, as well as potentially vast economic benefits.  This ANPRM would request comments, data, research results, and other information that could inform regulatory actions FDA might take with respect to the nicotine level of certain combusted tobacco products.
