Resumo

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is announcing the availability of the draft guidance entitled "The Scope of the Prohibition Against Marketing a Tobacco Product in Combination with Another Article or Product Regulated under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act." This guidance is intended for manufacturers, retailers, importers, and FDA staff. The Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FDCA), as amended by the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act (FSPTCA), states "A tobacco product shall not be marketed in combination with any other article or product regulated under this Act (including a drug, biologic, food, cosmetic, medical device, or a dietary supplement)." The guidance discusses certain activities that FDA believes do or do not fall within the scope of the prohibition. The guidance is not intended to be an exhaustive analysis of all activities that may or may not fall within the scope of the prohibition.
