The Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act is a U.S. law enacted in 2009 that gives the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) the authority to regulate the manufacturing, distribution, and marketing of tobacco products. The law aims to reduce tobacco use, especially among youth, by implementing measures such as banning flavored cigarettes and requiring warning labels on packaging. Additionally, the act mandates that tobacco companies disclose their ingredients and health risks associated with their products. It also restricts advertising and promotions targeted at minors, helping to create a safer environment for future generations regarding tobacco use.
