*Federal Register* Notice: FDA is making available a draft guidance, *Submission of Warning Plans for Cigars*. When finalized, it will help those involved in the manufacture, distribution, and sale of cigars in the U.S. understand the new cigar warning plan requirements under FDA’s final rule deeming these products to be subject to the tobacco product authorities in the FD&C Act. The draft guidance reiterates the required health warning statements and the requirements for random display and distribution that should be provided in cigar warning plans, and, when finalized, will help persons determine who should submit a warning plan, when a plan must be submitted, and what information should be included when submitting a plan.
