IMO the ecig market will force the FDA's hand to make a quicker decision on regulating nicotine in all smoking devices, playing right into the hands on XXII. They cannot let this market gain traction if Zeller is serious about accomplishing his goals.
We have the authority given to us by Congress to reduce nicotine in cigarettes down to nearly zero,” Zeller said. Since nicotine is the addictive chemical in cigarettes, teens who start smoking products that are almost nicotine-free could, in theory, never get hooked in the first place. Researchers now have access to 9 million cigarettes with varying amounts of nicotine to start testing whether products with lower amounts will lead to less addiction among new smokers. But don’t expect an ultra-low-nicotine product for at least a few years, Zeller added, since the studies are just beginning.
