Public input floods FDA tobacco rule debate
In Rockville Maryland the FDA collects about 700000 submissions on restricting cigarette sales to minors. Commenters range from $500 an hour lawyers to schoolchildren and smokers, with groups like National Cancer Association and American Lung Society backing the proposal and industry voices including Brown & Williamson. The rule, now at the Office of Management and Budget, could reach a White House decision by September.
