Tobacco Products Scientific Advisory Committee

The Tobacco Products Scientific Advisory Committee (TPSAC) is a group of experts that advises the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on scientific and public health issues related to tobacco products. They review data, research, and scientific evidence about tobacco products like cigarettes, e-cigarettes, and smokeless tobacco to help the FDA make informed decisions. Their goal is to protect public health by ensuring that regulations and policies are based on the best available science, particularly to reduce tobacco-related illnesses and prevent youth initiation.
