The Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act, signed by President Obama in June 2009, gave the Food and Drug Administration authority to regulate the manufacture, marketing, and distribution of tobacco products. The law created the FDA's Center for Tobacco Products and established the premarket review process for new tobacco products. In 2016, the FDA extended its authority to include e-cigarettes, cigars, hookah, and pipe tobacco under the law's "deeming" rule. The law prohibits the FDA from banning nicotine entirely but gives it authority to reduce nicotine levels and restrict marketing.
