HHS/FDA RIN: 0910-AI28 Publication ID: Spring 2021 
Title: Tobacco Product Standard for Characterizing Flavors in Cigars 
Abstract:

Evidence shows that flavored tobacco products, especially those that are sweet, appeal to youth and also shows that youth may be more likely to initiate tobacco use with such products. Characterizing flavors in cigars, such as strawberry, grape, orange, and cocoa, enhance taste and make them easier to use. Nearly one million youth in the United States use flavored cigars, placing these youth at risk for cigar-related disease and death. This proposed rule is a tobacco product standard that would ban characterizing flavors in all cigars. We are taking this action to reduce the tobacco-related death associated with cigars.
