The US Food and Drug Administration is proposing limits on the level of nicotine in cigarettes and some other types of tobacco products, such as cigars and pipe tobacco, in order to make them less addictive,

A proposed FDA rule would mandate a reduction to minimally addictive or nonaddictive levels, but the incoming Trump administration isn’t expected to follow through on the idea.
