It's about F-DA-in time!
The Senate has approved a bill that would give the FDA authority to regulate tobacco. It stil has to go to the House, but they seem inclined to pass this. Obama has said he wants to sign it.
One word: "Duh".
From the article:For the first time, the $89 billion tobacco industry would have to disclose the ingredients in its products. Under the new authority, the FDA could ban the most harmful of the estimated 6,000 chemicals used in cigarettes, cigars and other tobacco products. And it could reduce the amount of nicotine, perhaps to a point where tobacco is no longer addictive and smokers who want to quit can break free more easily.
