This bill authorizes the Secretary of Health and Human Services to destroy certain imported tobacco products. It specifically targets adulterated, misbranded, or counterfeit tobacco products that are offered for import into the United States, aiming to enhance public health and safety. The legislation achieves this by amending Section 801(a) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. These amendments expand the existing authority, which previously covered drugs and devices, to now include tobacco products , ensuring they can be subject to destruction if found to be illicit. The provisions of this Act will take effect immediately upon its enactment.
