The Biden administration intends to pursue a policy requiring tobacco companies to reduce the nicotine in all cigarettes sold in the U.S. to minimally or nonaddictive levels, according to people familiar with the matter, a move that would upend the tobacco industry.
The plan is part of President Biden’s Cancer Moonshot initiative, which aims to reduce the cancer death rate by at least 50% over the next 25 years.
