House passes bill for FDA to regulate Tobacco

[fugitiveinkblot]

Is there an e-commerce clause in this bill I don't know about or something? This snus is being purchased from Sweden. FDA cannot regulate Swedish tobacco. The importation of Swedish tobacco should go on OK. Its the American manufacturers that care about this. And PM doesn't give a snus about this bill, because they have not really invested much into their snus. Not like Camel has. I mean, you gotta hand it to RJR, they've really tried to break snus into the mainstream in America. Meanwhile, until the gov't tries to regulate e-commerce, everything we're doing should still be legal. And thats fine with me, if they pull Swedish Match from the few tobacco stores within 200 miles of me that sell it, I won't notice, because the gov't has already interfered and made it 6 bucks a tin. I buy online. Its cheaper.

BTW, Philip Morris supports the legislation, the only cigarette company to do so.

Of course they do. They sell more Marlboro 'Lights' than they do 'Reds'.

On the other hand, it would be interesting to see exactly *what* is in a can of Copenhagen....

Unicorn tears, bunny hugs, and other natural goodness. But seriously, I like the stuff too much to want to know what is in it
