Standardizing Regulations for Alternative Tobacco Products
This act aims to standardize regulations for the sale and use of less harmful alternatives to traditional tobacco products. It means individual states will not be able to impose their own additional restrictions if a product has already been federally approved. This could impact the availability and advertising rules for these products across different regions of the country.
Key points
States will not be able to establish their own prohibitions or restrictions on the sale, distribution, or advertising of alternative tobacco products if these products have federal marketing authorization.
Federal regulations will take precedence over local rules regarding product standards, premarket review, labeling, and other technical matters.
The act requires the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to submit a report on the status of all pending applications for new tobacco products and modified risk tobacco products.
