FDLI: Tobacco and Nicotine Products Regulation and Policy Conference

The Westin DC Downtown
999 9th Street NW
Washington, DC 20001

Troutman Pepper Locke is proud to continue sponsoring FDLI’s Tobacco and Nicotine Products Regulation and Policy Conference, scheduled for October 28-29 in Washington, DC.

Bryan Haynes will moderate the “Taxed, Tracked, and Transformed: State-Level Strategies for Nicotine Control” panel at the 2025 FDLI Tobacco and Nicotine Products Regulation and Policy Conference, scheduled for October 29 from 1:15 – 2:15 p.m.

The panel will discuss how states are transforming the nicotine landscape through taxation, product registries, and shifting enforcement priorities. As budget pressures increase and certain nicotine products remain untaxed, states face challenges in balancing regulation with revenue and public health objectives. This panel will examine the economic factors influencing state-level decisions, their effects on supply chains and consumer behavior, and insights from states that have taken action already.

Following FDLI’s Tobacco and Nicotine Products Regulation and Policy Conference, Agustin Rodriguez will moderate the “Harm Reduction Opportunity of on! PLUS Nicotine Pouches” panel at the 2025 FDLI Tobacco and Nicotine Products Regulatory Science Symposium, scheduled for October 30 from 4:00 – 5:00 p.m.

The Tobacco and Nicotine Products Regulatory Science Symposium provides a forum for diverse stakeholders to share scientific studies and research from a wide range of disciplines.
