The landmark Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act gave the U.S. Food and Drug Administration sweeping new authorities to create a healthier future for America’s families by regulating the manufacture, marketing, and distribution of tobacco products. The law, passed by Congress and signed by the President in 2009, gave FDA the authority to establish the Center for Tobacco Products (CTP), which drives powerful change to protect children and families from the dangers of tobacco products. Currently, FDA/CTP regulates cigarettes, cigarette tobacco, roll-your-own tobacco, and smokeless tobacco. FDA/CTP has also published a proposed rule to bring other products that meet the definition of tobacco product under FDA’s regulatory authority, such as cigars, e-cigarettes, and pipe tobacco.
