Description: The tobacco market is evolving with the availability of
a plethora of new tobacco and nicotine products of varying types and
degrees of abuse liability and harm. These products range from oral
tobacco products to electronic nicotine delivery cigarettes to pure
nicotine inhalation devices. These products are advertised for use in
situations when a smoker cannot smoke or as a product to use instead
of cigarettes. As a result, the distinction between a product to be
used for recreational purposes and for cessation is becoming blurred.
The major challenge is determining how best to evaluate and regulate
these products. The goal of this symposium is to describe the current
Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act, the current and
future tobacco/nicotine market, the research priorities of the FDA
Center for Tobacco Products and how CPDD researchers can contribute to
tobacco regulatory science.
