Article Synopsis
- The 2009 Tobacco Control Act allows the FDA to regulate tobacco products, and in 2019, General Snus became the first modified-risk tobacco product to be authorized, potentially increasing its usage in the U.S.
- A study analyzing sales data revealed that while absolute sales of General Snus declined, it experienced a relative increase in sales compared to non-snus smokeless products after the MRTP authorization.
- The study suggests that MRTP designation for General Snus may have positively influenced the entire snus category, indicating that consumers evaluate risk based on product categories rather than single items.
