Progress on Tobacco Product Application Review and Related Enforcement
"In addition to the applications on which we’ve already taken actions, FDA continues review on thousands of applications for
tobacco products across all product classifications. FDA intends to continue to devote significant resources to responding to the remaining pending applications expeditiously and will issue our decisions on a rolling basis."
"FDA regulates the manufacturing, marketing, and distribution of
tobacco products to protect public health. Premarket review of new
tobacco products before they can be legally marketed is one of the most important responsibilities of the FDA’s Center for Tobacco Products (CTP). We will continue to assess whether applicants meet the applicable statutory standard to market their new products."
Why do they keep saying tobacco...
It's like talking about electric vehicles, and the guvment continuing to call them gas powered "products across all product classifications."
