The Tobacco Control Act is a law enacted in the United States in 2009 that gives the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) the authority to regulate the manufacturing, distribution, and marketing of tobacco products. Its primary goal is to reduce tobacco use and its associated health risks, particularly among youth. The Act includes provisions for warning labels, advertising restrictions, and the prohibition of certain harmful ingredients in tobacco products. Additionally, the Tobacco Control Act aims to educate the public about the dangers of tobacco use and to promote cessation programs. It also allows the FDA to require manufacturers to disclose ingredients and health risks, ensuring that consumers have access to important information about the products they use.
