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.)

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

This would actually be a blessing in disguise. There would be such a public uproar we'd actually stand an outside chance of getting rid of the damn place.

It would be far better to set up a private organization to do FDA's job. Its boobocrats could be replaced with top talent.
