FDA proposes limiting nicotine in cigarettes
- The FDA proposed a rule to limit nicotine in cigarettes to less than one milligram, significantly lower than the current average of 17 milligrams.
- If finalized, the rule could lead to nearly 13 million smokers quitting within a year, with potential long-term benefits including 4.3 million fewer deaths by the end of the century.
- The FDA's move aims to make cigarettes nonaddictive and prevent young people from starting to smoke, with estimates suggesting 48 million could be deterred by 2100.
- The proposal is seen as one of the most significant actions by the FDA to reduce tobacco use, potentially changing perceptions and usage of tobacco products in the U.S.
