Bitget2026/09/24 21:42- 22nd Century Group urged HHS and the FDA to finalize a reduced-nicotine standard for cigarettes, citing more than a year without action.
- The pending proposal would cap nicotine at 0.70 mg per gram of tobacco in cigarettes and other combusted products, excluding e-cigarettes.
- Management framed faster authorizations for vapes and nicotine pouches as incomplete without a nicotine cap for combustibles.
- FDA modeling cited in the statement projected 48 million fewer new smokers by 2100, 1.8 million fewer deaths by 2060.
- The company said its FDA-authorized VLN cigarettes already deliver 95% less nicotine, positioning it for a mandated shift.
