The Food and Drug Administration’s massive regulations covering tobacco and smoking should have been enough to satisfy the agency, but no – when Americans began turning to what many believe is a safer alternative, e-cigarettes, the little Stalins at the agency just couldn’t leave well enough alone.
In a recently released statement, the FDA claims it is acting on behalf of Americans’ public health safety, noting:
Today, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration finalized a rule extending its authority to all tobacco products, including e-cigarettes, cigars, hookah tobacco and pipe tobacco, among others. This historic rule helps implement the bipartisan Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act of 2009 and allows the FDA to improve public health and protect future generations from the dangers of tobacco use through a variety of steps, including restricting the sale of these tobacco products to minors nationwide.
[As an aside, this is what makes Congress’ complaints about federal agency overreach so empty and hypocritical – as the FDA states, the agency was free to develop and implement this rule after being given the authority to do so in the 2009 law, rather than Congress setting the rules and parameters for e-cig use. But I digress.]
