The possibility of FDA regulation of tobacco products has been an ongoing topic since at least the early 1990s. Why do some think the FDA should regulate tobacco products, and what have been some of the issues that complicate how they might do this?
What will be an ideal response?
Nicotine, a drug, seems to be the main reason for dependence, so some think the FDA should regulate nicotine content. However, tobacco products were specifically excluded from the laws regulating drugs, a fact reinforced by the 2000 Supreme Court decision. Also, most drugs make a therapeutic claim, and it is not clear what beneficial treatment effect would be claimed by cigarettes. Probably any comparison of benefits vs. risks would say cigarettes should not be sold at all, but that is unrealistic. The answer should also discuss the benefits and criticisms associated with the 2009 Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act.
