It warms the heart of the Medicine Man to see Washington D.C. get something right!
Finally, they have given the Food and Drug Administration the necessary power to control and monitor tobacco products. The Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act passed by Congress and signed into law by President Obama allows the FDA to lower the amount of nicotine in tobacco products, block misleading labels such as “low tar” and “light,” and ban candy flavorings that appeal to kids.
As I have said before, normally I have a healthy mistrust for government regulation. However, having lost my wife to effects of smoking and seen many other victims of tobacco use, this is in the public interest. Hallelujah!
