Food and Drug Administration is said to become the monitor and regulate tobacco. Article in the Wall Street Journal, www.wsj.com, titled "House Panel Backs FDA Tobacco oversight" by Alicia Mundy said that FDA is on board to regulate tobacco companies and advertisers that claim one product is safer that the other. There are a lot of different views about this proposal. Main concern is rooted in who will carry the cost of such a monitoring program. The article said that Phillip Morris, the nations biggest cigarette maker approves and is willing to cooperate but it comes down to legislators to approve and let FDA monitor tobacco. The article is available on www.wsj.com for further information.
