The Biden administration's plan aims to significantly cut nicotine levels in cigarettes to reduce addiction, potentially helping millions of smokers quit and lowering cancer rates.
Dr. Robert Califf emphasized the profound impact this nicotine reduction could have, stating, "It's the biggest thing I've ever seen in terms of societal benefit, cost saving and lives saved."
The proposed ban on menthol cigarettes was put aside indefinitely due to strong opposition from tobacco companies and convenience store owners, highlighting the resistance to regulation.
The fate of the nicotine reduction policy under the incoming Trump administration remains uncertain, especially given Trump's industry-friendly stance and support from tobacco companies.
