The proposed rule included cigarettes, cigarette tobacco, roll-your-own tobacco, most cigars, and pipe tobacco. It does not, however, include e-cigarettes, nicotine pouches, non-combusted cigarettes, waterpipe tobacco, smokeless tobacco products, or premium cigars.

A rather historic U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) proposal aims to make cigarettes and other tobacco products far less addictive by reducing their nicotine content.
