Per the latest reports, the Biden administration is on the verge of effectively banning cigarettes, a move that would deliver a huge win to the cartels and the black market. 

According to some reports, the rule could eliminate nearly *98%* of nicotine in cigarettes, effectively making them non-addictive.

“Today, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration issued a proposed rule that, if finalized, would make cigarettes and certain other combusted tobacco products minimally or nonaddictive by limiting the level of nicotine in those products,” the FDA said in a statement.

“If finalized, the United States would be the first country globally to take such a bold, life-saving action to prevent and reduce smoking-related disease and death.”

It’s been noted that if the move is finalized, Americans wanting to purchase cigarettes with the levels of nicotine they were used to would have to do so through illegal channels.
