FDA moves to cut nicotine from cigarettes, in plan first floated under Trump
FDA moves to cut nicotine from cigarettes, in plan first floated under Trump
It will be up to the returning Trump administration to decide whether to finalize the rule.
Sooo they will still cause cancer but won't have the good stuff?
Maybe it'll make more people choose smokeless tobacco, which is nowhere near as (but still quite) unhealthy?
But yeah this seems paradoxical, nicotine is the least of your worries if you smoke cigarettes.
Now people will just smoke more
Edit: after considering the level of reduction I agree with the other commenter who said existing smokers will turn to vaping or pouches.
Also, I browse all mostly and didn't catch the community. I sorry for bringing bad energy here.
Tobacco companies will need to cut nicotine levels to 0.7 milligrams per gram of tobacco, a fraction of the 17.2 milligrams per gram that most cigarette brands have on average.
Damn, that might actually get most smokers to switch to vaping chaw or zyn
That number doesn’t look right. EU caps it at 1.0 and I’ve never seen a cigarette over 0.8 and those are noticeably rougher than 0.6 which is standard. 17,2 would be crazy even for the US sized portions of things. Haven’t smoked in years but it couldn’t have changed this way.
This site suggests the average cigarette has between 10-12 milligrams of Nicotine, but that the human body only absorbs ~1.2-1.8mg per cigarette smoked

Thank goodness. It’s about time the Republicans did something good and had to deal with the political fallout instead of relying on Democrats to do everything.
Wait, smoking is awesome!
