FDA Launches Searchable Tobacco Product Database for Retailers Compliance

The FDA has launched the Searchable Tobacco Products Database, a user-friendly list of tobacco products, including e-cigarettes, that may be legally marketed in the United States. The database, accessible at www.fda.gov/searchtobacco, provides information on three categories of products: new tobacco products that received marketing authorization through one of the FDA's three pathways, pre-existing tobacco products established through a voluntary determination program, and provisional tobacco products removed from review. The database contains nearly 17,000 tobacco products, with over 12,000 being pre-existing tobacco products. The FDA has developed the Searchable Tobacco Products Database – Additional Information webpage to provide context and answer questions about the content. The launch is part of the FDA's commitment to providing regulated industry resources and clear communication about its actions.
