Drug, Device, Tobacco Product, or a Combination? FDA Publishes Final Rule
From e-cigarettes to nicotine gum, products made or derived from tobacco come in a variety of forms and are intended for different uses. That’s why FDA recently issued a final rule that describes when a product is regulated by one of three Centers: Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER), Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH), or Center for Tobacco Products (CTP). This rule is expected to help consumers better distinguish products intended for tobacco cessation from those intended for other uses. Learn more about CTP’s regulation of tobacco products.

FDA Takes Action on Applications Seeking to Market Tobacco Products as Modified Risk
One of the ways FDA is working to improve public health is by ensuring that tobacco products marketed with claims of reduced harm or risk of tobacco-related disease actually do reduce harm or risk of disease. The FDA protects consumers by reviewing “modified risk tobacco product” (MRTP) applications from companies before they can market their product as less harmful or lower risk. The agency recently took action on the first applications to go through this review process. Read more about MRTPs and this action.
