“The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) released a sweeping proposal Wednesday to try to make cigarettes less addictive by lowering the amount of nicotine they contain, an 11th-hour plan from the Biden administration that will take years to go into effect, if it happens at all. The move gives the White House one last chance to try to regulate tobacco, as it previously punted on finalizing a long-standing pledge to ban menthol-flavored cigarettes. The FDA in the proposal [pretended] that if implemented, nicotine reduction would help nearly 13 million additional people to quit smoking cigarettes within one year after implementation.” [editor’s note: In reality, most of those 13 million people would likely just smoke MORE cigarettes to get their nicotine fixes, increasing their cancer risk – TLK] (01/15/25)
