The FDA issued an advance notice of proposed rulemaking (ANPRM) in 2018, regarding the proposed regulation on premium cigars. FDA had deemed premium cigars within the scope of its regulatory authority for tobacco products in 2016, and thereby sought additional comments and research input pertinent to 1) the definition for premium cigars, 2) use patterns for premium cigars, and 3) public health considerations specific to, or otherwise pertinent to, premium cigars.
