The Food and Drug Administration on Wednesday unveiled a proposed rule that would make tobacco companies slash nicotine levels in cigarettes, most cigars and other combustible tobacco products sold nationwide.

The proposed rule doesn't ban nicotine but lowers the amount allowed in cigarettes, cigarette tobacco, roll-your-own tobacco and most cigars to 0.7 milligrams per gram of tobacco − a smaller amount than what's on the market today and potentially low enough to prevent addiction.

But the nicotine limit doesn't apply to vaping products, nicotine pouches such as Zyn, hookahs, or premium cigars.
