There's a lot of mumbo jumbo, rhetoric, and pulled out of thin air $$$ claims on health, blah, blah, blah, but here is what I derived from this. Here's two copy / paste that are somewhat good news for pipe tobacco and premium cigars, which have been getting swept up as collateral damage in the FDA vs. Big Tobacco Wars.
"the agency is also providing targeted relief on some timelines described in the May 2016 final rule that extended the FDA’s authority to additional tobacco products."
"Under expected revised timelines, applications for newly-regulated combustible products, such as cigars, pipe tobacco and hookah tobacco, would be submitted by Aug. 8, 2021 ..."
So, we get some more breathing room to try to talk more sense into them. It seems some of those efforts resulted in the above, so fingers crossed.
The other general thing I get out of it is that nicotine is bad because it is addictive, so it makes people want to smoke cigarettes, and smoke is bad. However, when I decipher the wording, the impressions I get is that nicotine is bad, but it's not as bad in other forms outside of tobacco, and some people are going to get addicted anyway, so let's make sure they can still get their nicotine without smoke.
It's seems the vape and ecig makers are making better bed partners with the FDA than tobacco.
