POUCH Act of 2024

This bill would prevent states from having different tobacco product rules than federal law, except for age-based sales, advertising, and fire safety regulations. It creates a federal "marketing order" system where FDA approval would override state restrictions on tobacco products like sales, advertising, or use. The bill also requires the FDA to report within 90 days on pending tobacco product applications to Congress. It directly affects states with stricter tobacco laws and tobacco companies operating across multiple states.
