Premium cigars would no longer be regulated by the FDA as tobacco products.
This bill would change federal law so that premium cigars are no longer considered "tobacco products" under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. This means the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) would not regulate them in the same way it regulates other tobacco products. The bill also provides a strict definition of what counts as a "premium cigar" for this exemption.
Today, premium cigars are generally regulated by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as tobacco products, meaning they are subject to federal rules regarding manufacturing, marketing, and sales. If this bill becomes law, premium cigars that meet a very specific definition would no longer be considered "tobacco products" under federal law, removing them from the FDA's regulatory oversight.
