FDA Announcement on Two Significant Actions to Advance Tobacco Regulation
Friday, March 30, 2012
Posted by: Natalia Gromov
Today the U.S. Food and Drug
Administration (FDA) released two separate draft guidance documents to help
fight the tobacco epidemic and stop children from using tobacco. The draft
guidance documents implement provisions of the Family Smoking Prevention and
Tobacco Control Act that will ultimately provide the public with previously
unknown information about the chemicals in tobacco products and help prevent
misleading marketing about the risks associated with tobacco
products.
The
first document provides guidance on how companies will comply with the
requirement to report on the quantities of potentially harmful chemicals in
tobacco products. The second document provides guidance to companies that seek
to advertise or market a tobacco product as less harmful or associated with
reducing the risk of tobacco-related disease.
