FDA Eyes Non-Addictive Cigarettes: A Game Changer?

The Biden administration's FDA, spearheaded by Dr. Robert Califf, has unveiled a bold proposal to cut nicotine in cigarettes to non-addictive levels. If enacted, this 2025 initiative could prevent 48 million young folks from picking up smoking and help 12 million current smokers quit within a year, potentially saving $1.1 trillion in healthcare costs by 2065. However, experts worry about a booming black market. Public feedback will shape the future of this groundbreaking move.
