THE LATEST FDA RULINGS & PROPOSAL - JULY 2022
In a landmark ruling announced in June 2022, the FDA issued a marketing denial order of the JUUL device and 4 types of JUUL pods containing nicotine concentrations of 5% and 3%. The FDA also plans to proceed with a proposal to ban flavored tobacco products, and under a new Biden administration proposal, the nicotine content in cigarettes will be reduced. In response to these latest announcements and proposals, NCPC researchers have developed three briefs to clearly explain the facts:
- TOBACCO FLAVOR BANS ARE CRITICAL FOR TOBACCO CONTROL
- FDA BAN ON JUUL DEVICES: A WIN FOR TOBACCO CONTROL
- BIDEN ADMINISTRATION PROPOSAL: REDUCTION OF NICOTINE CONTENT IN CIGARETTES
As always these are free to download, and are designed to help provide digestible facts and information that can help guide conversations with community members. Spanish language versions will be provided shortly, but please click the images below to download the pdfs as needed.
