More than 80% of adults strongly favor or somewhat agreed that tobacco companies should be forced to lower the amount of nicotine in cigarettes, according to a CDC study.
from 2010 through 2015 showed that 47% to 71% of adults favored limiting nicotine in cigarettes, meaning support for the idea of limiting nicotine in tobacco products is now rising.
"Cigarettes and other combustible tobacco products are responsible for the overwhelming burden of death and disease from tobacco use in the United States," Dr. Corinne Graffunder, director of the CDC's Office on Smoking and Health, said in a statement. "Lowering nicotine levels in cigarettes could help current smokers quit and make it less likely for future generations to become addicted to these products.
"We don't believe a smoker will continue to purchase nonaddictive cigarettes, particularly with the presence of alternative nicotine delivery devices," such as e-cigarettes, the analysts wrote in June.
