How will FDA inform the retail community and general public about the regulations?
The regulations will be published in the Federal Register on March 19, 2010. In addition, FDA will use a variety of communication channels, including a dedicated Web page that will contain guidance on how to comply with the new requirements, social media tools, such as pod casts, and other tools to educate retailers and consumers about the new requirements. The Web site can be found at www.fda.gov/protectingkidsfromtobacco.gov. In addition, FDA has established a toll-free number (1.877.CTP.1373) for further assistance.
