Gottlieb said the FDA wants to transition smokers to “modified risk tobacco products” — which are said to pose lower health risks — or have them quit altogether.
“It’s really the first step in the rule-making process to try to pursue regulations that will ultimately lead to a reduction in nicotine levels in cigarettes,” Gottlieb said Friday.
