Summary:

Presents public health and tobacco industry perspectives on FDA tobacco regulation. Reviews H.R. 1256/S. 982, to expand FDA authority under the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act of 2009; to regulate manufacture, distribution, advertising, promotion, sale, and use of cigarettes and smokeless tobacco; and to require FDA to reissue its 1996 tobacco rule, which the Supreme Court struck down. Addresses First Amendment issues related to restrictions on advertising and promotion, and discusses preemption of State and local regulation regarding labeling, advertising, and promotion.
