On January 12, 2023, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will hold a workshop on the ban of flavored tobacco products, specifically regarding the use of menthol as a flavoring in tobacco products. The proposed tobacco product standard is to "prohibit the use of menthol as a characterizing flavor in cigarettes and cigars on a scientific basis," marking the first tobacco-related workshop of 2023.
The FDA presentation will provide scientific evidence to inform the development of these proposed regulations and explain the highly impactful scientific assessments used by the FDA to review them.
Bridget Ambrose, the Director of Population Health Science at the FDA's Center for Tobacco Products (CTP) Office of Science (OS), will be delivering a speech. Ambrose has over 20 years of experience in tobacco control and regulatory science, and has expertise in longitudinal analyses of tobacco use.
