Biden Opposes Bill to Limit FDA's Power
Biden administration opposes a Republican bill that would limit FDA's authority to ban flavored cigars and menthol cigarettes.

According to a report from Halfwheel on July 31, the Biden administration has issued a government policy statement opposing certain provisions of a funding bill proposed by House Republicans that would restrict the ability of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to ban flavored cigars and menthol cigarettes.

 

The bill stipulates that if the FDA prohibits flavored cigars and menthol cigarettes, or introduces regulations to limit the nicotine content in these products, it will be denied funding by this legislation.

 

The policy statement of the Biden administration does not carry any binding obligations and also does not mention any nicotine limits.
