Andrew Hyland, Ph.D. of the Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center is leading the PATH Study – the most comprehensive longitudinal study ever conducted – examining tobacco use, attitudes and beliefs, and health indicators of about 46,000 Americans aged 12 and older.
Would like to see another FU to BT... 8/10 Americans is sufficient though
October... let's go

Research: Cigarettes marketed as “natural” and “organic” loaded with nicotine and toxicants

Anyone? Where is August 26 written...
Where do you see August 26?
There is currently no deadline for public comments.
Like I said- PMTA, NPRM, MRTP
I’m attracted to October 14... but October nonetheless
Under the restrictive terms of the BAT agreement, annual royalties to 22nd Century were capped at $25 million per year. Now that the agreement has been terminated, the Company is free to engage in licensing agreements and strategic partnerships with any and all tobacco companies – with no restrictions, limits, or “caps” on licensing royalties. This development is especially significant in light of the announcement made...by the United States Food and Drug Administration...
On July 19, 2019, FDA filed for substantive scientific review two Modified Risk Tobacco Product (MRTP) Applications from 22nd Century Group Inc. for VLN King and VLN Menthol King combusted, filtered cigarettes. The company describes these tobacco products as “very low nicotine content” cigarettes. The Federal Register will publish a notice establishing a formal docket for public comments on regulations.gov at a later date.
Juul CEO Apologizes For Youth Vaping 'Epidemic'
https://www.ibtimes.com/juul-ceo-apologizes-youth-vaping-epidemic-2806468
“Research tells us that teens who vape may be at risk for transitioning to regular cigarettes, so while we have celebrated our success in lowering their rates of tobacco use in recent years, we must continue aggressive educational efforts on all products containing nicotine.”
October... everything changes... 8/10 Americans want it... everything is now 'visible'... as I said
Even the Juul CEO apologizes and acknowledges the epidemic - Wow
This isn't old BT anymore...
Educate me
Let them file... judges will be on our side... as will the politicians...
8/10
It'll happen sooner than later
PMTA/NPRM/MRTP... that order I think
It’s all coming to fruition, as I said- people should not be blinded by considering historical actions alone with regard to BT... the people have had enough, 8/10 have spoken... that just bought the politicians
Yes, it’s such a pump the federal govt. uses its IP
See you in October
TIME, CNN, DailyMail, CNBC... every outlet picking up the survey results... I like this quote, because that's us:
The FDA has not yet determined what level of nicotine it would deem acceptable but promises it will apply the 'best science' available to its decision.
So far, that science has suggested that 0.5 mg of nicotine per cigarette or less are candidate content levels for 'non-addictive' smoking.
When or if the FDA’s proposed rule could take effect remains to be seen, but the authors of the new study say their data could speed the process along, since “population-level attitudes can guide implementation and sustainment of tobacco control interventions.”
Oh, okay... thanks, Andre, for the insight.
Yours truly,
Noname
This doesn't sound like a Commish who isn't ready to mandate VLN come October... excellent article... published today... read in full

Would you say PMTA approval will not be an accomplishment? Or MRTP? Do you care if either of them happen? If the ruling goes into effect and both apps are approved... do you not believe something 'big' ...can happen? These are, after all, the catalysts we've been waiting for... right? Are we not at the precipice?
Yes - to provide a link to the federal register and be the first to publicly announce NPRM date on iHub and elsewhere is clearly pumping... nothing to back up such a claim, other than the federal register... clearly misleading...
October is coming
Wow, great study results... and Happy 4th! God bless our country.
Effectiveness of switching to very low nicotine content cigarettes plus nicotine patch vs reducing daily cigarette consumption plus nicotine patch to decrease dependence: An exploratory randomized trial
https://www.mdlinx.com/journal-summaries/cigarette-smoking-harm-reduction-nicotine-dependence/2019/07/03/7571304/
Findings revealed that nicotine dependence was reduced over a 4-week period to a larger extent by switching to very low nicotine content cigarettes vs reducing cigarettes per day, in addition to a nicotine patch.
From the actual study:
Our major con-clusion is that a policy to reduce the nicotine content ofcigarettes could provide smokers not ready to quit with areduction strategy that is more acceptable and effective atdecreasing dependence and nicotine exposure than thecommon strategy of reducing CPD.

Juul’s New Marketing Is Straight Out of Big Tobacco’s Playbook

Great summary... we won't be going through that again... 10/2019
It is not easy to navigate the complexities of the shifting tobacco landscape, one where products reside on a continuum of risk with deadly combustible products on one end of the continuum and safe and effective medicines on the other. However, we are more than up for the task. CTP, which began with just a dozen people, has grown to about 800 employees working hard to protect public health by utilizing the powerful authorities afforded to the FDA under the TCA and Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. We have the committed and expert staff, authority, and science base to continue taking effective action to end the tobacco epidemic. The FDA has made significant progress over the past decade and will continue to work towards a future when death and disease from tobacco usage are a thing of the past.
Coming 10/2019... interesting they don't mention it... I do like the word "authority" here...
FDA’s Center for Tobacco Products Commemorates 10th Anniversary of Tobacco Control Act
https://www.fda.gov/news-events/fda-voices-perspectives-fda-leadership-and-experts/achievements-tobacco-regulation-over-past-decade-and-beyond?utm_source=Eloqua&utm_medium=email&utm_term=stratcomms&utm_content=blog&utm_campaign=CTP%20News%3A%2010th%20Anniversary%20Blog_Video%20-%2062019
In 2013, the FDA and NIH awarded money to 14 Tobacco Centers of Regulatory Science. These grants fund research on topics critical to the future of regulation, such as flavors in e-cigarettes, the effects of reducing nicotine in cigarettes, consumer perceptions of tobacco products, and addiction. CTP awarded 9 more grants in 2018 to fund further research on topics such as toxicity of tobacco smoke and aerosol, addiction, and the influences of tobacco marketing.
We developed a multi-year roadmap that places nicotine, and the issue of addiction, at the center of our tobacco regulation efforts.
We have a comprehensive framework to regulate nicotine to reduce the harm to society of tobacco use. In July 2017, the FDA announced a groundbreaking plan for tobacco and nicotine regulation. This plan acknowledges that some forms of nicotine delivery are potentially less harmful than others, with approved nicotine replacement therapies like patches or gum being the least harmful and combustible cigarettes being the deadliest.
Then in March 2018, the FDA issued an Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking for a product standard to lower nicotine levels in combusted cigarettes to minimally or non-addictive levels. This historic product standard could potentially prevent future generations from ever becoming addicted to the deadliest tobacco product, while making it easier for currently addicted cigarette smokers to quit.
Because the tobacco ship is going down, anyway, the politicians can continue to politicize but will get behind a smoke-free future... this is my core argument...
...you don't think the tobacco ship is going down in terms of usage rate (it's a fact)... the science culminating... the health-crazed culture... and the many other reasons already mentioned?
There is every reason in 2019 to be anti-BT... the nicotine is left on the table... 7th inning...
This backlash against BT wouldn't have happened in the past as it's happening now... because the problem has become progressively more visible... and thanks to the e-cig industry, even more so (sons/daughters addicted to what? nicotine...)
...all is culminating
Don't put too much emphasis on the $ with BT...
Study out on healthcare cost-savings... ~5% annual decline in users, anyway... combustibles are a losing business... I said months ago that PM is declaring their "smoke-free future" because they knew the final nail in the coffin was coming... and it is
