FDA WARNING_LETTER - www.200discountsmokes.com

The FDA's Center for Tobacco Products issued a Warning Letter to 200discountsmokes.com after reviewing their website and determining that cigarette products offered for sale to U.S. customers are in violation of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act).

The primary violations include: 1. **Modified Risk Tobacco Product (MRTP) Violations:** The website promotes numerous cigarette brands (e.g., Bond Lights, Camel Natural Flavor, Marlboro Lights, Winston Lights) using descriptors like "light," "mild," "ultra light," or similar claims implying reduced risk, lower tar/nicotine, or fewer harmful chemicals. These products are considered MRTPs under section 911(b)(2)(A) of the FD&C Act and are being introduced into interstate commerce without a required FDA order under section 911(g), rendering them adulterated under section 902(8).

2. **Flavored Cigarette Violations:** The website offers flavored cigarettes (e.g., Aroma Rich Apple, Richmond Cherry, Sobranie Slims Mints) which are purported to contain characterizing flavors other than tobacco or menthol. This violates section 907(a)(1)(A) of the FD&C Act, making these products adulterated under section 902(5). If these products do not contain the advertised characterizing flavors, they are misbranded under
