US FDA Approves Limited Tobacco Products: PMTA Regulations Discussed
The FDA approved few tobacco product applications and only from large companies with e-cigarette business, drawing controversy.

According to a report published in early December by Reagan-Udall, a limited number of tobacco product applications have been approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and all products approved through PMTA are from large tobacco companies with electronic cigarette businesses.


Following the new regulations under PMTA, the Center for Tobacco Products (CTP) has received approximately 432 premarket applications for tobacco products. However, only a few applications have been approved, with the majority of PMTA approved products coming from large tobacco companies such as RJ Reynolds and independent e-cigarette manufacturers operating in the middle market like NJOY.


At present, the FDA is revising a controversial tobacco regulation plan due to numerous lawsuits faced by both the Center for Tobacco Products (CTP) and the entire FDA regarding public health and the tobacco industry.


In 2023, the Biden administration will be obligated to consider criticism and suggestions regarding the FDA's Center for Tobacco Products (CTP) and its policy on fairly allowing products to be released to the market.

BAT France has welcomed the European Commission’s revision of the Tobacco Excise Directive (TED), which for the first time includes nicotine pouches under taxation, viewing it as an institutional recognition of low-risk alternatives. However, the company warns that excessively high taxation or unilateral bans by Member States (such as France’s plan to prohibit nicotine pouches) could harm public health objectives, undermine the EU single market, and encourage illicit trade.
