BALTIMORE — The Biden Administration revealed a proposed plan that would require tobacco companies to reduce nicotine levels in cigarettes.⁠ ⁠ The White House said on Tuesday that the goal is to reduce addiction, and possibly, get more people to quit smoking.⁠ ⁠ This is all part of President Joe Biden's pledge to reduce cancer deaths by 50 percent over 25 years.⁠ ⁠ The U.S. Surgeon General reports that 87 percent of adult smokers start before 18 years old, and then become addicted.⁠ ⁠ “Because tobacco-related harms primarily result from addiction to products that repeatedly expose users to toxins, FDA would take this action to reduce addictiveness to certain tobacco products, thus giving addicted users a greater ability to quit,” the White House said in a statement.⁠ ⁠ Click the link in our bio to watch the full video.⁠ ⁠ #fda #baltimore #maryland #addiction #cigarettes #nicotine #smoking #health #whitehouse #politics #policy #bill
