FDA Approves Sale Of Reduced-Nicotine Cigarettes

The FDA has allowed 22nd Century Group to sell low nicotine cigarettes, Moonlight and Moonlight Menthol, which have 95% less nicotine than regular cigarettes. While these products meet the Tobacco Control Act's requirements, they are not deemed safe or FDA approved. The FDA emphasizes that no tobacco product is safe and will monitor the marketing and usage of these cigarettes, especially among non-smokers and youth. Studies suggest that smokers using low nicotine cigarettes may smoke less and are more inclined to quit.
