FDA Creates Webpage Providing Guidance on Tobacco 21

Last week, the FDA unveiled a website that provides information regarding the new law that raised the federal age to purchase tobacco from 18 to 21. The website includes a “Commonly Asked Questions” portion as well as other resources for tobacco retailers. Notably, the FDA announced that it is now conducting compliance checks with decoys under the age of 21. Before the new law was passed, the FDA was using decoys under the age of 18. Retailers should continue to abide by the law and not sell to anyone under the age of 21.
