A House Energy and Commerce Committee subcommittee has approved a bill that would give the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) the power to regulate cigarettes and other tobacco products. The bill, the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act, would give the FDA the authority to regulate tobacco marketing and product contents, as well as banning the use of terms like "low tar," "light," and "mild" to advertise cigarettes. It would require larger warning labels on tobacco packages.
