About FDA The Center for Tobacco Products
The Center for Tobacco Products (CTP) Director is responsible for planning, managing, directing and coordinating major tobacco program objectives to support the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act. This law gives FDA authority over tobacco products by adding a new chapter to the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act for tobacco products and reinstating the 1996 final rule. Some of the Agency’s responsibilities under the law include setting product standards, reviewing premarket applications for new and modified risk tobacco products, requiring new health warning labels, and establishing and enforcing advertising and promotion restrictions. The law gives FDA the authority to regulate tobacco products and manufacturers - not growers. The actions outlined in the final rule are expected to have significant public health and consumer protection impact, and are among the most important issues faced by the Agency in its long and distinguished history.
