The FDA proposes limiting nicotine in cigarettes to reduce addiction and smoking rates.

The FDA has submitted a proposal to limit nicotine levels in tobacco products, aiming to make cigarettes less addictive and encourage smoking cessation. This rule, under development since 2018, could reduce the number of smokers and improve public health, as smoking remains the top cause of preventable deaths in the U.S. However, the proposal is subject to approval by the Office of Management and Budget and a public comment period, and the tobacco industry often challenges such regulations.
