Tobacco industry fights Biden’s proposed cigarette nicotine cut

Bloomberg Law quotes Lynn Kozlowski in an article about the Food and Drug Administration lowering nicotine levels in cigarettes to make them less addictive. The FDA is prohibited from issuing a regulation that reduces nicotine levels in tobacco products to zero, but companies claimed the agency’s proposed level of 0.70 milligrams of nicotine per gram of total tobacco practically results in that. “You can imagine a lot of legal fights about what zero means,” said Kozlowski.
