Overview of the webinar
The Tobacco Control Act went into effect by FDA on June 22, 2009. Through this ruling, the FDA regulated cigarettes, cigarette tobacco, roll-your-own tobacco and smokeless tobacco, but in 2016, the FDA finalized a rule, Deeming Tobacco Products To Be Subject to the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, which extends the FDA’s authority to include the regulation of electronic nicotine delivery systems (such as e-cigarettes and vape pens), all cigars, hookah (water pipe) tobacco, pipe tobacco and nicotine gels, among others. The rule went into effect on August 8, 2016. This action is a milestone in consumer protection – going forward, the FDA will be able to:
- Review new tobacco products not yet on the market
- Help prevent misleading claims by tobacco product manufacturers
- Evaluate the ingredients of tobacco products and how they are made
- Communicate the potential risks of tobacco products
We will provide an overview of the regulations as they pertain to the manufacturing, marketing, distribution and other operational activities engaged by companies in the tobacco industry. This course will describe the best practices for developing a compliance strategy, including roles and responsibilities, and the policies and procedures that should be followed to ensure compliance.
