This year, many alternative tobacco products such as low-nicotine or nicotine-free e-cigarettes have flooded the US retail market.
The United States Food and Drug Administration is currently considering the possibility of releasing a proposed regulation that would set maximum levels for nicotine content in cigarettes and other combustible tobacco products by 2023. The exact date is unknown as the FDA is currently drafting the proposed regulation.
However, there are already low-smoke and nicotine-free cigarettes on the market. 22nd Century Group's VLN King product and VLN Mint King cigarette have received Modified Risk Tobacco Product (MRTP) authorization, with a 95% reduction in nicotine content.
International industrial cannabis leader TAAT has released its zero-nicotine cigarettes made from the company's proprietary Beyond Tobacco blend, which replicates the sensory experience of smoking.
Lance Klatt, Executive Director of the Minnesota Service Station and Convenience Store Association, stated that regulatory issues must be considered first, and that innovative solutions should be sought in the tobacco industry.
