22nd Century Group, Inc. (XXII), Tuesday announced submission of public comments in support of the FDA's proposed "Tobacco Product Standard for Nicotine Yield of Cigarettes and Certain Other Combusted Tobacco Products."
The submission underscores clear and consistent acknowledgement among medical professionals, researchers and even industry leaders that nicotine causes damage, demanding reduced nicotine standard.
"The evidence is overwhelming that a reduced nicotine yield standard for combusted tobacco products has the potential to save millions of lives and trillions of dollars cumulatively in the U.S. alone," said CEO Larry Firestone.
Currently, XXII is trading at $1.72, up 6.13 percent on the Nasdaq.
