FDA WARNING_LETTER - www.order-cheap-cigarettes.com

The FDA's Center for Tobacco Products issued a Warning Letter to the operator of http://www.order-cheap-cigarettes.com after reviewing their website and determining that cigarette products were offered for sale to U.S. customers. The FDA found several violations of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act).

**Violations and Deficiencies:**

1. **Adulterated Modified Risk Tobacco Products (MRTPs):** The website promotes numerous cigarette brands (e.g., Bond Special Selection, Marlboro Gold, Winston Blue, Camel Silver, Marlboro Silver) using descriptors like "Lights" or "Ultra Lights" in product labeling or advertising. Under section 911(b)(2)(A)(ii) of the FD&C Act, these are considered MRTPs. Introducing or delivering MRTPs into interstate commerce without an FDA order under section 911(g) is prohibited, rendering these products adulterated under section 902(8) of the FD&C Act.

2. **Adulterated Flavored Cigarettes:** The website offers flavored cigarettes (Aroma Rich Apple, Aroma Rich Rum Cherry, Kiss Super Slims Fresh Apple 100s, Richmond Cherry) purported to contain characterizing flavors. Section 907(a)(1)(A) of the FD&C Act prohibits cigarettes from containing artificial or natural flavors (other than tobacco or menthol) that
