Abstract: The Food and Drug Administration is proposing to establish tobacco product standards, including product standards that include provisions for nicotine yields and for the reduction or elimination of other constituents (including smoke constituents) or harmful components. The proposed rule, if finalized, would set forth the requirements to limit nicotine yield by setting a maximum nicotine content level for finished cigarettes and certain other finished combusted tobacco products not to exceed 0.70 mg of nicotine per gram of total tobacco. The information collection requirements support the need for the FDA to assure that the public health is protected, and tobacco products are in compliance with the requirements of the FD&C Act.
