Relative to tobacco harm-reduction. Public Health.

AI Summary

This bill amends the existing law in Massachusetts to expand the definition of tobacco products that are subject to certain regulations. Specifically, it adds language to include tobacco products that have received an order from the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) under specific sections of federal law (chapters 387j and 387k(g) of the U.S. Code). This change aims to extend regulatory oversight to a broader range of tobacco-related products as part of the state's approach to tobacco harm reduction.
