The FDA regulates foods, drugs, and cosmetics. Tobacco is none of these. So why ask the FDA boobocracy to regulate it? (They don't exactly do a stellar job with the food and drug stuff.)

Nicotine is a drug and a VERY potent pesticide.

In fact, nicotine sulfate is listed among the deadliest of poisons.

The FDA said that if they had to regulate tobacco, they would have to ban it, because they could not deem it safe!

Nicotine is a psychoactive addictive drug. Open and shut case anytime the nannies want to push the issue.
