How about e-cigarettes?
How about cutting thc levels in joints and ‘candy bars’?
Marijuana is double-plus good.
Cigarettes are loaded with the devil’s weed and will surely lead you to a life of destruction and a fate in the fiery pits of Hell!
I’m not a smoker. I’m also not someone who wants the all-powerful Federal bureaucracy seizing ever more power to be my personal nanny.
As Mark Steyn said, “You don’t need a President-For-Life” when you have a “Bureaucracy-For-Life”. Please stay the hell out of this FDA.
Amazing what government agencies can do without passing new laws!
Idiots in the gov’t, huh?
For those already addicted to nicotine then they’ll have to smoke even MORE cigarettes to quench their addiction.
Hey, that’s an idea. For example, let’s make all beer 3.2 and that will stop people from drinking.
So we’ll see them outside, sucking furiously with caved in cheeks, trying to get that nicotine hit.
and 52,000 AAmericans died last from the un-mentioned (tbi).
Non nicotine cigs is like non alcoholic beer. What’s the point. MJ with no THC? I do none of it so......... But, free enterprise.
The government just can’t bring itself to leave people alone.
As an ex-smoker I can attest to the massively addictive nature of nicotine. But I don’t think this will have the strong affect the FDA is planning for.
I think this will cause an immediate increase in the number of cigarettes sold and the tobacco companies will cleanup.
If you reduce the amount of nicotine in the cigarettes I smoke by, say, 20%, I can easily negate your action by buying and smoking 20% more cigarettes.
IMHO, there is only one sure way to quit smoking and that’s to just quit, cold turkey. Yes the first few days are Hell, but the physical addiction disappears after a week or so. After that, you have to conquer the mental addiction and that’s much tougher.
I quit in Dec, 1999 and have wanted a cig at least once a day ever since. Have always been able to stop the desire, but who knows?
Time to stock up on vape juice.
BLOVJT ?
It doesn’t have a use-by date.
How many Americans died last year from smoken driving?
They did this with Liquor years ago (restrict alcohol content) I’m surprised they never got to nicotine until now.
Unless the plan is to phase out nicotine altogether and make tobacco use worthless...
Which makes you wonder how long til they do it with liquor... or pot...
This is some BS, and I don’t even smoke!
There are many dangerous chemicals in cigarettes.

Nicotine is just one on a long list, and it is debatable whether it is even near the top of the bad list.
This is .gov being stupid as usual.
The dumbasses. Less nicotine per cig means people will need more cigarettes to get the same nicotine hit. Ergo, more tobacco consumed, and more cancer.
Things like this are why planned economies always suck.
