No-smoking trend hits home says CDC study
The CDC reports in 2003 nearly 75 percent of U S households ban smoking, up from 43 percent a decade earlier. Utah leads with almost 90 percent smoke-free homes, while Kentucky remains lowest at just over 50 percent. The survey, based on 127 000 households, finds higher rules even where smokers reside and credits health research and local bans for the shift.

FDA Authority Sought to Regulate Nicotine and Tobacco Claims
The president would grant the FDA power to set nicotine standards and regulate industry claims of reduced exposure or risk. Cigarettes remain unique for containing carcinogens and toxins and could be banned under federal law if not exempted for tobacco. A Congress bill would authorize FDA oversight, though Dr. Andrew von Eschenbach doubts feasibility if nicotine levels drop, predicting smokers will seek to maintain addiction.
