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.⁠
