Officials proposed limiting the amount of nicotine to make cigarettes less addictive, but it's unclear if the incoming administration will offer support.

The FDA's proposed rule would slash nicotine levels in cigarettes, most cigars and other combustible tobacco products, but not vapes, hookahs or Zyn.

ATLANTA - The FDA has proposed a new rule to reduce nicotine levels in cigarettes to make them less addictive. The agency believes this initiative could help approximately 13 million current smokers quit within a year and prevent millions of others from becoming addicted to cigarettes.
