CDC Survey Finds Most U.S. Adults, including 80% of Smokers, Favor Lowering Nicotine Levels in Cigarettes to Make Them Less Addictive.

Good stuff... wonder what BT can do to delay VLN further at this point?

TIME, CNN, DailyMail, CNBC... every outlet picking up the survey results... I like this quote, because that's us:

Quote: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.



Oh, this is also nice:

Quote: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.”
