Exempting Premium Cigars from FDA Regulation: Protecting Small Businesses.
This bill exempts traditional large and premium cigars from most regulatory provisions of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). This means the FDA would lose authority over the composition, manufacturing, and sale of these specific tobacco products. The goal is to protect jobs and reduce regulatory burdens on small businesses involved in cigar production and distribution.
Key points
Traditional premium cigars (meeting strict weight and composition criteria) will be excluded from most FDA controls and standards.
The change aims to support small cigar manufacturing businesses by removing federal requirements regarding ingredients and production processes.
