FDA to lower nicotine limits in cigarettes

Jun 22, 2022, 7:53pmUpdated on Jun 22, 2022
By: News 12 Staff
The Food and Drug Administration plans to lower nicotine limits in cigarettes.
It’s part of President Joe Biden's pledge to reduce cancer deaths by 50% over 25 years.
Close to half a million Americans die every year from causes attributed to smoking.
It could take the FDA more than a year to implement it.
During that time, the public would be asked to comment on it during a review period.
