FDA WARNING_LETTER - http://www.cigarettes-info.com - July 31, 2013

The FDA's Center for Tobacco Products issued a Warning Letter to the operator of http://www.cigarettes-info.com for offering tobacco products for sale in the U.S. that violate the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act).

The primary violations include: 1. **Modified Risk Tobacco Product Violations:** The website promotes products like "Davidoff Gold (Lights)" and "Kent Silver (Kent Super Lights King Size Hard Pack)" using descriptors such as "Lights" or "Super Lights." Under section 911(b)(2)(A)(ii) of the FD&C Act, these are considered modified risk tobacco products. Introducing or delivering such products into interstate commerce without an FDA order under section 911(g) is prohibited, rendering them adulterated under section 902(8) of the FD&C Act. 2. **Flavored Cigarette Violations:** The website offers "Aroma Rich Apple," "Aroma Rich Rum & Cherry," and "Kiss Fresh Apple SS" cigarettes, which appear to contain characterizing flavors other than tobacco or menthol. Section 907(a)(1)(A) of the FD&C Act prohibits such flavors in cigarettes. Products violating this are adulterated under section 902(5). If these products do not contain the advertised characterizing flavors, they are misbranded under section 903(a)(1
