The New FDA Law: A Green Light for Tobacco Control?

On Tuesday, October 20, the Technical Assistance Legal Center (TALC) and the Center for Tobacco Policy & Organizing (the Center) hosted a webinar on the new law that gives the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) the authority to regulate tobacco products. Speakers provided a summary of the provisions of the law and the lawsuit brought against it, detailed which tobacco control policies are affected by the law, and reviewed the CX indicators that are impacted by the FDA law. This webinar was designed to provide guidance for communities about which CX indicators have the green light for moving forward and which indicators should be approached with more caution because of legal concerns. 

You can download the webinar agenda and handouts below. A recording of the webinar is also available.
