the Tobacco Control Act

The Tobacco Control Act is a federal law designed to regulate the manufacturing, marketing, and sale of tobacco products to protect public health. It gives the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) authority to set rules that reduce tobacco use, especially among youth. These rules include banning certain harmful ingredients, requiring warning labels, and restricting advertising and sales to minors. The goal is to decrease tobacco-related illnesses and deaths by making products safer and less appealing. Overall, it aims to balance adult choices with protections for public health, especially for young people.
