The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has the authority to regulate tobacco. Lowering nicotine levels makes cigarettes less addictive, potentially saving millions of lives. The FDA estimated in 2018 that a nicotine cap would prevent 16 million people from becoming addicted to smoking by 2060, and 33.1 million by 2100.
Cigarette smoking is the leading cause of preventable death in the U.S., killing over 480,000 people annually, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Most smokers start as teenagers.
Nicotine is the addictive substance in cigarettes, while other toxins cause smoking-related illnesses. Studies suggest reducing nicotine by up to 95% could make cigarettes minimally or non-addictive.
