The Biden administration is planning remove nearly all nicotine from cigarettes sold in the U.S. in an attempt to get people to quit the habit.

The administration signaled Tuesday that it will develop a proposed rule to establish a maximum nicotine level in cigarettes and other tobacco products essentially lowering the amount of nicotine in products available in the US.

The FDA aims to officially publish the proposed rule in May 2023, according to the Wall Street Journal.

Breitbart reports: The plan was revealed on Tuesday as part of the Biden administration’s “unified agenda,” which is a collection of planned federal regulations released biannually.

FDA Commissioner Robert Califf said in a statement:

Nicotine is powerfully addictive. Lowering nicotine levels to minimally addictive or non-addictive levels would decrease the likelihood that future generations of young people become addicted to cigarettes and help more currently addicted smokers to quit.

Roughly 12.5 percent of Americans were cigarette smokers in 2020, according to Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) data. Nearly 480,000 Americans die of smoking-related causes annually, making cigarette deaths the number one preventable death in the country. An additional 7,300 nonsmokers die from lung cancer caused by second hand smoke.

Meanwhile, the UK is considering the idea of increasing the smoking age by 12 months every year until no one can no longer buy it

  1. Only 500 years late. Refined white sugar next thanks And all chemically created sugar substitutes. People do not need to crave nicotine or sweet.

    • You like being governed to death, don’t you?

      None are so hopelessly enslaved as those who falsely think they are free. Goethe said that, not me.

      • Yeah well you wouldn’t say anything worth repeating. And when people are as vile as you then they need enslaving by government.

        • Says an anonymous and deranged coward. Your opinion means absolutely nothing to anyone, what you write here is the musings of a nut.

  2. I don’t smoke, have never smoked and hated having to smoke indirectly when being with my friends and my father.. That being said studies appear to say Nicotine raises testosterone and lowers estrogen. Perhaps this is why our helpful overseers want to take it away? Love the Hunter Biden glamour shot!

  3. 9year study Sugar EXACERBATES CANCER but that has been known for ages weight GENO type mass diet sunlight many many factors in cancers.I don`t smoke but at my age if I wanted to start I would but not the rolled filtered I would roll my own without any filters and with out any added chemicals all natural sun dryed but I don`t need to and cops would think it was a joint anyway

  4. The federal government has no right to tell anyone what can or cannot go into their bodies. Neither do state governments. I wonder if the smiling cadaver is going to lower the potency of crack cocaine so his drug addicted son’s heart won’t explode when he takes his latest pull from his CRACK PIPE.

  5. takeing away nicotine gum? and nicotine replacements for cigs would make more people smoke not less if they can`t get thier as nicotine gum and non cigs nicotines it is the addictive agent in cigs but TAR& chemicals added are WTF cause cancer not nicotine but use too much nicotine and it is deadly and can give heart attacks and strokes

    • What type of person still smokes today? I watched my grand dad, an evil old bastard who thankfully was no blood relation of mine, lying in his cancer ward dying of lung cancer sucking on his Benson and Hedges gold cigarettes, when only the best will do, as their ad, and thought what an idiot That was half a century ago and people are still idiots.
