Cigarette Makers Appeal FDA Regulation Case
In a Fourth Circuit session in Warm Springs, tobacco firms argued the FDA could be granted power to ban cigarettes if allowed to regulate tobacco. Industry attorney Richard Cooper warned of lost freedom of choice, while Acting Solicitor General Walter Dellinger said the FDA does not aim to ban tobacco and Congress would decide such moves. The case challenges an April ruling granting FDA drug regulation of tobacco and the FDA's bid to overturn the decision limiting tobacco advertising oversight.
