FDA Extends Opportunity for Public Input on Regulating Additional Tobacco Products

This Week in CTP - Updates from the Center for Tobacco Products FDA has published a notice in the Federal Register announcing a 30-day extension of the comment period for the proposed rule, Deeming Tobacco Products To Be Subject to the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, as Amended by the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act. The proposed rule is seeking comments on FDA's regulatory approach to electronic cigarettes and other tobacco products, proposed options for the regulation of cigars, pathways to market for proposed deemed tobacco products, and compliance dates for certain provisions, among other issues. The comment period will now close on August 8, 2014. Completing this rulemaking is a very high priority of FDA and HHS.
