The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Center for Tobacco Products operates within the U.S. government to regulate tobacco products, including cigarettes, cigarette tobacco, roll-your-own tobacco, and smokeless tobacco, with authority to extend regulation to other products that meet the tobacco product definition. Located in Silver Spring, Maryland, the center is part of a broader federal framework aimed at reducing tobacco-related harm and protecting public health, particularly for children and families. Its work centers on regulating the manufacture, marketing, and distribution of tobacco products to drive changes that support a healthier future, drawing on authorities established by the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act in 2009. The center collaborates within the government and with related regulatory programs to advance its regulatory objectives, with recent organizational activity noted within the broader FDA leadership and regulatory environment.
