Description

Tobacco use is the leading cause of preventable death and disease in the U.S. In 2009, the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act (Tobacco Control Act) granted the Food and Drug Admin. (FDA), an agency within the Dept. of Health and Human Services (HHS), authority to regulate tobacco products, including marketing and distribution to youth. The act established the Center for Tobacco Products (CTP), which implements the act by educating the public on the dangers of tobacco use; developing the science needed for tobacco regulation; and developing and enforcing regulations on the manufacture, marketing, and distribution of tobacco products. The act authorized FDA to assess and collect user fees from tobacco manufacturers and importers. This report reviewed the authority and resources provided to FDA for regulating the manufacture, marketing, and distribution of tobacco products. It examines (1) how FDA spent tobacco user fees for key activities using its authorities granted in the act, and (2) any challenges FDA encountered in using its authorities. Tables and figures. This is a print on demand report.
