Preliminary Analysis of a Nicotine Reduction Strategy Toward Non-Addictive Smoked Tobacco Products

Under pending federal legislation, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration will soon have the legal authority to promulgate products standards for cigarettes including mandating the reduction of nicotine to non-addictive levels. This working paper reviews relevant research and identifies key policy issues that demand fuller exploration if such a product regulatory scheme can be successfully imple...

Editorial: Non-polysaccharide Plant Polymeric Materials

Plastics are everywhere. Their unique combination of properties (lightweight, durability, wide range of mechanical properties, different degrees of hydrophobicity, processability, etc.), as well as the low cost in comparison with materials of similar characteristics, has allowed an impressive development of such macromolecules. Moreover, the ease of change of plastic's features by small chemica...
