Tobacco Pellets Not Subject to Regulation, FDA Says Agency Cites 2000 Ruling by Supreme Court

Tobacco pellets sold in drugstores and supermarkets as an alternative to cigarettes cannot be regulated under current laws, the Food and Drug Administration concluded yesterday.

Responding to citizens petitions from public health groups and the distributor of FDA-regulated nicotine lozenge products, the FDA said the pellets are a form of "smokeless tobacco" and cannot be regulated under the 2000 Supreme Court order striking down federal regulation of tobacco.

I'm curious if those clever smokeless marijuana pipes work on a good pipe tobacco.
