Series Description

The FDA Grand Rounds is webcast monthly to highlight cutting-edge research underway across the agency and its impact on protecting and advancing public health. Each session features an FDA scientist presenting on a key public health challenge and how FDA is applying science to its regulatory activities.

Lecture Description
In 2009, the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act (TCA) was signed by the President "to protect the public health by providing the Food and Drug Administration with certain authority to regulate tobacco products…" The TCA requires FDA premarket review of new tobacco products and evaluation of whether marketing the product(s) is "appropriate for the protection of public health."
This population health standard, directing FDA to assess impact on the population as a whole and not only individual product users, required creation of a new FDA review process. Questions arise regarding how to minimize the risks while maximizing the possible benefits of allowing new tobacco products or modified risk products on the market. The scientific review process is complex and involves data from a breadth of scientific disciplines.

The Center for Tobacco Products (CTP) is responsible for carrying out the TCA. Our mission is to protect Americans from tobacco-related death and disease by regulating the manufacture, distribution, and marketing of tobacco products and by educating the public, especially young people, about tobacco products and the dangers their use poses to themselves and other. After a brief introduction to CTP, this presentation will provide a description of the IQOS heated tobacco products and a summary of the applications. The specific requirements of the TCA and the criteria for denying marketing authorization will be described as well as a brief discussion of FDA's understanding of what it means to be "appropriate for the protection of public health." Finally, the presentation will conclude with an explanation of the rationale for FDA's decision regarding IQOS and how this may impact future Premarket Tobacco Applications and tobacco control.
