Lawmakers Push to Exempt Premium Cigars from FDA Oversight

By Cody Carden | September 19, 2024

Washington, DC: Congressmen Andrew Garbarino (R-NY) and Kelly Armstrong (R-ND) have officially co-sponsored HJ Res. 99, a resolution aimed at permanently exempting premium cigars from U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA)regulation. This legislation seeks to amend the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act to create a clear distinction between premium cigars and other tobacco products, ensuring these cigars are not subject to future FDA oversight.
