The FDA Center for Tobacco Products issued a Warning Letter to 200cigsonline.com after reviewing their website and determining that cigarette products were offered for sale or distribution in the U.S. These products are considered tobacco products under section 201(rr) of the FD&C Act.

The FDA identified two primary violations:

1. **Modified Risk Tobacco Product Violations:** Several cigarette products, including Bond Street Special Selection, L&M Blue Label, and Marlboro Gold Accent, were described using terms like "light" or similar descriptors. These are classified as "modified risk tobacco products" under section 911(b)(2)(A)(ii) of the FD&C Act. Selling or distributing such products 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:** Products like Aroma Rich Apple, Kiss Mohito, and Richmond Cherry were offered for sale, purporting to contain artificial or natural characterizing flavors. Section 907(a)(1)(A) of the FD&C Act prohibits cigarettes from containing characterizing flavors (other than tobacco or menthol). Violations of this provision result in products being adulterated under section 902(5) of the FD&C Act. Alternatively, if these products do not contain the stated flavors
