Changes

Critics of the FDA tobacco bill include the American Association of Public Health Physicians and FDA chief Dr. [[Andrew C. von Eschenbach]], who maintains that FDA's role is to regulate products that are beneficial to public health, and that the agency should be asked to regulate products that are harmful. Bringing tobacco under the jurisdiction of FDA could also mislead consumers into believing that tobacco products are safe or even good for their health. Opponents also argue that FDA agency does not have the financial or staff resources available to allow it to regulate the tobacco industry.<ref>David Gutierrez, NaturalNews.com [http://www.naturalnews.com/022922.html Why Philip Morris Supports FDA Regulation of Tobacco] April 1, 2008.
