The Food and Drug Administration’s Tobacco Products Scientific Advisory Committee (TPSAC) has posted a draft summary of their report on dissolvable tobacco products. The report is available for download here. The report was required by Congress and will be considered by the FDA is it evaluates how to regulate newer dissolvable tobacco products.
I attended portions of the meetings held in preparation for this report, and offered my comments as part of the open hearing. A video of my testimony is available here. I am disappointed with TPSAC’s approach so far.
The draft report fails to properly take into account the potential, as well as documented benefits of switching from the most harmful form of tobacco use, cigarette smoking, to lower-risk, but still not safe products, such as dissolvable tobacco and snus.
An examination of the beginning of the report makes the approach clear.
