Regulation and Products

We are working to ensure the law granting the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) the authority to regulate all tobacco products, including cigarettes, e-cigarettes, cigars and hookah is fully leveraged to protect children and adults.  

Regulation and Products Resources:

This factsheet provides a summary of the premarket review requirements and status of FDA's enforcement of the requirements.

A comment letter which details why 22nd Century Group's modified risk tobacco product application should be denied by the Food and Drug Administration.

The undersigned public health organizations submit these comments on the above-listed tobacco product modified risk applications submitted by R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Company (“Reynolds”) for six Camel snus products. The subject applications should be denied for the reasons detailed in these comments.

We write to urge the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to conduct a thorough investigation of, and take appropriate enforcement action against, the marketing of JUUL e-cigarettes with express or implied claims that the products help users stop smoking.

In its final Deeming Rule, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) made the appropriate determination that there is no public health justification for exempting so-called “premium cigars” from the Rule. No data or other information has emerged since the final Rule was issued in May, 2016 that should cause FDA to reconsider that conclusion.

In order to protect kids from these products, FDA should publish a proposed, and then final, rule prohibiting characterizing flavors in all combusted and smokeless tobacco products as soon as possible.

The Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act (Tobacco Control Act) – signed into law by President Obama in 2009 - grants the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) authority to regulate the manufacture, marketing, and distribution of tobacco products.

ACS CAN and its partner organizations submit these comments in response to the advance notice of proposed rulemaking issued by the Food and Drug Administration urging the FDA to commence a rulemaking proceeding to propose, and ultimately to adopt, a product standard that will prohibit menthol as a characterizing flavor in cigarettes.

The tobacco control partners submit a Citizen's Petition to the FDA request the prohibition of menthol as a characterizing flavor in cigarettes.
