“Nicotine Delivery Products: Navigating FDA’s Policies and Regulations in a Dynamic Environment” provides a comprehensive guide to the legal and regulatory landscapes that continue to shape the industry for tobacco and novel nicotine products. Industry professionals, attorneys, regulators, and the public health community will find this desk reference indispensable for understanding compliance, informing business decisions, and managing ever-evolving regulatory requirements in the United States.

This publication covers the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) regulation of the manufacturing, marketing, labeling, distribution, and sale of tobacco and nicotine products in the United States across new and modified risk tobacco products, including rules governing advertising and promotion, preemption and the role of state authorities, recent litigation, FDA enforcement efforts to combat a growing black market, and a deep-dive into the Premarket Tobacco Product (PMTA) process for new products, including electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS) and modern oral nicotine products. The book also describes FDA’s potential issuance of tobacco product standards for menthol in cigarettes and flavors in cigars and the agency’s efforts to establish a standard for the nicotine content in cigarettes. Finally, the book addresses other key rulemakings, including the impact of the Deeming Regulation and FDA’s development of tobacco product manufacturing practices (TPMPs).
