Some of the areas and topics the ANPRM seeks comments on includes:

  • How flavors can lead to increased tobacco use, especially among youth and young adults
  • How flavors can help cigarette smokers use less harmful products
  • The role local, state and international restrictions on flavored tobacco product sales
  • Adverse health effects of flavored tobacco products
  • How the public views flavors in noncombustible tobacco products and their addictive nature

With the FDA issuing the ANPRM on March 20, 2018, a 90-day comment period will commence on March 21. With the comments and information gathered during this period, the FDA could eventually develop new rules and regulations on flavored tobacco products.
