FDA Set Low Standards for Nicotine Product Approval
FDA sets low review standards for tobacco companies in determining the safety of nicotine products.

In an article for Filter, Alex Norcia explained that the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has set a lower standard for review of nicotine products in its Center for Tobacco Products (CTP) to determine their suitability for preserving public health than for companies submitting tobacco product applications before they go to market.


Filter has cited documents obtained through the Freedom of Information Act, which describe procedures such as batching and bracketing that allow CTP to apply conclusions to product categories rather than individual evaluations. According to Alex Norcia, "Despite the extremely burdensome bureaucratic demands placed on applicants, the agency is pleased to have found ways to complete its paperwork.


It is evident that the FDA allows itself to take effective shortcuts, but it denies applicants," said Clive Bates, Director of The Counterfactual, in an interview with Filter Magazine.


The issue at hand is that the FDA's extensive process is a considerable waste of time and resources for applicants, but ultimately, it is something that the FDA evaluators cannot manage. Without this shortcut, the PMTA process would become a nightmare for human resources. Therefore, the FDA allows itself to achieve the efficiency it should provide to applicants by blending and packaging thousands of almost identical products.
