In the 110th Congress, lawmakers reintroduced bipartisan, bicameral legislation to give the Food
and Drug Administration (FDA) broad new authority to regulate the manufacture, distribution,
advertising, promotion, sale, and use of cigarettes and smokeless tobacco products. The House
passed H.R. 1108 on July 30, 2008, by a vote of 326-102. The Senate version was order to be
reported out of committee but did not see floor action. The Family Smoking Prevention and
Tobacco Control Act was first introduced in the 108th Congress, the product of lengthy
negotiations in which lawmakers sought to balance the competing interests of public health
groups and Philip Morris, the nation's leading cigarette company.

In the mid-1990s, FDA claimed authority under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act
(FFDCA) to regulate cigarettes and smokeless tobacco products as delivery devices for nicotine,
an addictive drug. The agency's 1996 tobacco regulation was invalidated by the U.S. Supreme
Court in March 2000. The Court concluded that Congress had clearly intended to preclude FDA
from regulating tobacco products. It found that because the FFDCA prohibits the marketing of
products that have not been found to be safe and effective, the statute would have required FDA
to ban such manifestly harmful products as cigarettes and smokeless tobacco if the agency had
jurisdiction over them. Such a ban, argued the Court, would plainly contradict congressional
intent.

The Supreme Court's decision made it clear the Congress would have to enact legislation giving
FDA statutory authority over tobacco products in order for the agency to assert jurisdiction.
Lawmakers first drafted such language in the 105th Congress as part of legislation to implement
the 1997 proposed national tobacco settlement.

This report begins with an overview of the FDA's 1996 tobacco rule that includes a summary of
the agency's arguments for asserting jurisdiction over tobacco products. That is followed by an
analysis of the U.S. Supreme Court decision in FDA v. Brown & Williamson Tobacco
Corporation, which overturned the FDA tobacco rule. The report then reviews the 1997 proposed
national tobacco settlement, which would have codified the FDA rule and given the agency
explicit authority to regulate tobacco products as medical devices. It includes a discussion of the
FDA provisions in the McCain tobacco bill (see Table 1), which was introduced and debated in
the 105th Congress in an attempt to implement the proposed settlement. The final section of the
report summarizes the legislative history and provisions of H.R. 1108/S. 625 from the 110th
Congress (see Table 2),

On February 15, 2007, Representatives Henry Waxman (D-CA) and Tom Davis (R-VA) and
Senators Ted Kennedy (D-MA) and John Cornyn (R-TX) introduced the Family Smoking
Prevention and Tobacco Control Act (H.R. 1108, S. 625). On July 30, 2008, the House passed
H.R. 1108 by a vote of 326-102. The Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions (HELP)
Committee approved S. 625 by a vote of 13-8 on August 1, 2007, but the bill did not see floor
action in the Senate. The two measures are broadly similar to each other, and to legislation
introduced in past Congresses. The legislation would create a new Chapter IX in the Federal
Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA)1 giving the FDA broad new authority to regulate the
manufacture, distribution, advertising, promotion, sale, and use of cigarettes and smokeless
tobacco (i.e., snuff and chewing tobacco).

In its 1996 final rule, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) had claimed jurisdiction over
tobacco products under the FFDCA, based on its conclusion that cigarettes and smokeless
tobacco products are delivery devices for nicotine, an addictive drug. However, in 2000, the U.S.
Supreme Court invalidated the FDA tobacco regulation. In a 5-4 decision, the Court ruled in FDA
v. Brown & Williamson that FDA does not have the authority under the FFDCA to regulate
cigarettes and smokeless tobacco products as drug-delivery devices.2 The Court based its ruling
on the finding that Congress has precluded the FDA from asserting jurisdiction over tobacco
products. According to the Court, such authority would be inconsistent with the congressional
intent clearly expressed in the FFDCA's overall regulatory scheme and in other tobacco-related
legislation. For example, the Court concluded that if the FDA asserted jurisdiction under the
FFDCA, it would have no choice but to prohibit the marketing of such harmful products. A ban
on tobacco products, argued the Court, would plainly contradict congressional policy, which
permits tobacco companies to market their products with limited oversight by the Federal Trade
Commission (FTC). In addition, the Court noted that Congress had, in enacting other tobacco-
specific legislation, repeatedly rejected proposals to grant the FDA authority over tobacco,
thereby demonstrating the intent to deny the agency such jurisdiction.

The Supreme Court's decision ended a four-year legal challenge by the tobacco industry to
overturn the FDA regulation. The ruling made it clear that Congress would have to enact
legislation giving FDA explicit statutory authority over tobacco products in order for the agency
to assert jurisdiction. Lawmakers first drafted such language in the 105th Congress and included it
in legislation that would have implemented the1997 proposed national tobacco settlement. That
legislation was debated and rejected by the Senate in 1998. Following the Supreme Court's
ruling, several lawmakers introduced FDA tobacco legislation in the 107th Congress without
subsequent legislative action.3

The Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act was first introduced by
Representatives Davis and Waxman and Senators DeWine (R-OH) and Kennedy in the 108th
Congress (H.R. 4433, S. 2461). Its introduction followed months of negotiations in which

lawmakers sought to balance the competing interests of public health groups and the tobacco
industry.

This report examines the historical legislative debate over giving FDA the authority to regulate
tobacco products. It begins with an overview of the FDA's 1996 tobacco rule that includes a
summary of the agency's arguments for asserting jurisdiction over tobacco products. That is
followed by an analysis of the U.S. Supreme Court decision in FDA v. Brown & Williamson,
which overturned the FDA tobacco rule. The report then reviews the 1997 proposed national
tobacco settlement, which would have codified the FDA rule and given the agency explicit
authority to regulate tobacco products as medical devices. It includes a discussion of the FDA
provisions in the McCain tobacco bill (see Table 1), which was introduced and debated in the
105th Congress in an attempt to implement the proposed settlement. The report also includes a
summary comparing the key differences in the two tobacco bills from the 110th Congress (see
Table 2).


                            
On August 28, 1996, the FDA issued a final rule aimed at reducing underage smoking and use of
smokeless tobacco products.4 The FDA rule included three sets of provisions: restrictions on the
sale and distribution of tobacco products to minors; limits on tobacco-product marketing and
advertising; and new labeling requirements for packaging and advertising (see box on next page).
The agency said that the purpose of the rule was to reduce the easy access to tobacco products by
minors. It also hoped to reduce the amount of positive advertising imagery used by manufacturers
to make their products appealing to minors. While the rule did not directly address adult tobacco
use, data from the National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH) suggest that over time it
would help reduce adult tobacco consumption. NSDUH data indicate that most smokers take up
the habit as teenagers. Thus, reducing the number of new teenage smokers, who are needed to
replace adult smokers that quit or die, is expected to lower overall tobacco consumption in the
future.

used as intended. Critics of FDA's rule argued that in asserting regulatory authority over tobacco
poses a difficult challenge for regulating tobacco products, which are manifestly unsafe when

The FDA asserted jurisdiction over cigarettes and smokeless tobacco by concluding that nicotine
is a drug and that cigarettes and smokeless tobacco are drug-delivery devices under the FFDCA's
definitions. The statute defines a drug, in relevant part, as "... articles (other than food) intended
to affect the structure or any function of the body."5 In its rulemaking, the FDA drew on the
extensive scientific literature documenting nicotine's pharmacologic effects on the body,
including satisfaction of addiction, stimulation, and sedation. The agency also concluded that
cigarettes and smokeless tobacco are devices that deliver nicotine into the body. As with drugs,
the FFDCA's definition of medical devices includes articles that are intended by the manufacturer
to affect the structure and function of the body.6 Unlike a drug, however, a device is defined, in
part, as an article "which does not achieve its primary intended purpose through chemical
action."7

In the absence of direct claims by the manufacturers about the intended use of tobacco products,
the FDA relied on other lines of evidence in order to meet this key definitional criterion for drugs
and devices. For example, the agency considered evidence of foreseeability (i.e., a reasonable
manufacturer would foresee that consumers will use the product to satisfy nicotine addiction) and
actual consumer use (i.e., consumers use the product because they are addicted). FDA officials
combed through thousands of pages of internal tobacco company documents before concluding
that the manufacturers intended their products to be addictive.

Having made the determination that tobacco products fall under the statutory definitions of drugs
and devices, the FDA further concluded that these products are combination products since they
have components that are both a drug and a device. Under the FFDCA, the FDA is authorized to
regulate products that "constitute a combination of a drug, device, or biologic product."8 The
agency has interpreted this provision as giving it the discretion to regulate combination products
as drugs, as devices, or as biologic products.9 In its final rule, the FDA chose to regulate tobacco
products under the device provisions of the FFDCA because they offer the agency greater
regulatory flexibility than do the drug provisions of the act.10

The device authorities of the act present a range of regulatory controls that apply to all devices.
The FDA stated in its rule that these mandatory controls would apply to cigarettes and smokeless
tobacco products. They include, among others, adulteration and misbranding provisions, labeling
requirements, establishment registration, device listing and premarket notification, recordkeeping
and reporting requirements, and good manufacturing practices. The act also requires the agency to
classify each device based upon the degree of risk it poses to the user as well as other regulatory
concerns and unique qualities of the device. The FDA indicated in the final rule that it would
classify cigarettes and smokeless tobacco as either Class I, II, or III devices at some point in the
future. The agency further stated that when classification was determined, it would impose any
additional requirements that were appropriate.11

   Class I devices (e.g., elastic bandages, manual surgical instruments) present minimal harm to the user and are only
subject to general controls, such as manufacturer registration, and labeling. Class II devices (e.g., cardiac pressure
monitors, powered surgical instruments) are those for which general controls alone are insufficient to assure safety and
(continued...)

In addition to mandatory controls, the FFDCA contains various discretionary provisions that
apply to devices under certain circumstances. The FDA predicated its authority to regulate
tobacco products on one such provision regarding restricted devices. The act's restricted device
provision states, in relevant part, that "[t]he Secretary may by regulation require that a device be
restricted to sale, distribution, or use . . . upon such other conditions as the Secretary may
prescribe in such regulation, if, because of its potentiality for harmful effect or the collateral
measures necessary for its use, the Secretary determines that there cannot otherwise be
reasonable assurance of its safety and effectiveness."12

In the final tobacco rule, the FDA relied on the FFDCA's restricted device provision when it
concluded that, because of the harmful effects of cigarettes and smokeless tobacco and in the
absence of a reasonable assurance of the safety and effectiveness of such products, it needed to
implement additional restrictions on tobacco access and advertising in order to prevent new users
from becoming addicted.13 As a result, the FDA used its restricted device authority to limit youth
access to tobacco products. Agency officials also concluded that the authority under the FFDCA's
restricted device provision was broad enough to permit the FDA to restrict tobacco-product
marketing and advertising. It reasoned that without advertising restrictions, the access restrictions
would be substantially diminished if manufacturers were "free to entice children and adolescents
to circumvent the access restrictions."14


                                                                     
The tobacco companies filed a lawsuit against the FDA and sought summary judgment on the
grounds that the FDA lacked the authority to regulate tobacco products when such products are
marketed and sold without explicit claims of therapeutic benefit. The lawsuit further charged that
the FDA exceeded its statutory authority because the FFDCA does not authorize the FDA to
regulate tobacco products as drugs or devices.15 Finally, the companies argued that the rule's
advertising restrictions, which limited advertisements to which children are exposed to a black-
on-white, text-only format, violated the First Amendment protection of commercial speech.


                                       ข   
On April 25, 1997, a North Carolina federal district court ruled in favor of the FDA, holding that
the agency had acted appropriately under the FFDCA when it classified nicotine as a drug and
tobacco products as drug-delivery devices.16 However, while the court upheld the rule's access

effectiveness. In addition to complying with general controls, Class II devices are also subject to special controls, such
as additional labeling requirements, mandatory performance standards, and postmarket surveillance. Class III devices
(e.g., replacement heart valves, breast implants) present the greatest potential for risk of illness or injury and are subject
to the most stringent regulatory control. They require premarket approval by FDA--a process that involves a
comprehensive agency review of their safety and effectiveness--unless they are substantially equivalent to a device
already on the market.

tobacco advertising and promotion. The court permitted the two youth access provisions that had
taken effect prior to its ruling to remain in effect, but delayed implementation of the rule's other
provisions, pending further action by the court.17 Both sides appealed the district court's ruling.

overturned the lower court's decision and ruled that the FDA lacked the statutory authority to
regulate tobacco products.18 The court held that the decision to regulate cigarettes as a restricted
device rather than as a drug, in order to avoid having to ban them, was "... obvious sophistry,
[which] reinforces the conclusion that regulation of tobacco products under the Act was not
intended by Congress."19 The court's decision was stayed pending further appeal.

On November 10, 1998, in a 6-3 decision, the full appellate court rejected the Administration's
request to reconsider the ruling.20 The Justice Department filed a Petition for a Writ of Certiorari
with the U.S. Supreme Court on January 19, 1999, requesting that the court review the Fourth
Circuit ruling and find that the FDA has full statutory authority both to regulate tobacco products
and to issue all the provisions of the 1996 tobacco rule. The Supreme Court accepted the case and
ultimately upheld the Fourth Circuit's decision.


                                                                      
On March 21, 2000, the U.S. Supreme Court, in a 5-4 decision written by Justice Sandra Day
O'Connor, affirmed the ruling of the appeals court that the FDA does not have the authority to
regulate tobacco products as drug-delivery devices.21 Although the majority opinion
acknowledged the public health threat posed by tobacco use, the Court concluded that "Congress
has clearly precluded the FDA from asserting jurisdiction to regulate tobacco products. Such
authority is inconsistent with the intent that Congress has expressed in the [FFDCA's] overall
regulatory scheme and in the tobacco-specific legislation that it has enacted subsequent to the
[FFDCA]."22

In reaching its decision, the Court examined the FDA tobacco rule in light of the precedents that
govern cases involving an agency's construction of a statute that it administers. As part of such a
review, the Court must determine whether an agency's interpretation of its statute is entitled to
deference and presents a reasonable or permissible construction of the law. Chevron U.S.A. v.
NRDC is the leading case on judicial review of agency interpretations of statutes.23 This case

involved EPA's rules regulating emissions under the Clean Air Act. In Chevron, the Court
enunciated a two-step test for judicial review of an agency's interpretation of its statute: (1) has
Congress spoken directly to the precise question at issue? and; (2) if Congress has not done so
and the statute is silent or ambiguous with respect to the specific issue, is the agency's answer
based on a permissible construction of the statute?24

Under Chevron step one, if Congress has spoken directly to the question at issue, then Chevron
deference is not due and the Court "must give effect to the unambiguously expressed intent of
Congress."25 In this case, the Court examined both the FFDCA and other tobacco-related statutes,
ultimately concluding that Congress had clearly intended to preclude the FDA from regulating
tobacco. As a result, the Court did not need to reach step two of Chevron. In reaching its decision,
the Court relied on a number of factors. First, the Court found that, because tobacco is a
dangerous product and because the FFDCA prohibits the marketing of products that have not
been found to be safe and effective, the statute would require the FDA to ban tobacco products if
the agency did indeed have jurisdiction over such products. Such a ban, argued the Court, would
plainly contradict the congressional intent reflected in the enactment of several pieces of
legislation that clearly contemplate the continued marketing of tobacco products.26 Thus, the
Court held that Congress had clearly "intended to exclude tobacco products from the FDA's
jurisdiction."27

In addition, the Court found that the FDA had repeatedly denied that it had jurisdiction over
tobacco and that Congress had repeatedly rejected bills that would have granted the agency such
authority.28 Instead, Congress had demonstrated its intent to create a distinct regulatory scheme
for tobacco by enacting other tobacco-related regulatory statutes, such as the Federal Cigarette
Labeling and Advertising Act and the Comprehensive Smokeless Tobacco Health Education
Act.29 The Court cited these tobacco-related statutes as additional evidence in support of its
conclusion that Congress had intended to preclude the FDA from regulating tobacco.30

Writing in dissent, Justice Stephen Breyer argued that cigarettes and other tobacco products
clearly fall within the plain meaning of the statutory definition of drugs and devices because such
products are intended to affect the structure and function of the body. In addition, the dissent
argued that the purpose of the FFDCA--to protect the public health--also supported the

conclusion that the FDA was authorized to regulate tobacco products. For these reasons, the
dissent would have upheld the FDA's jurisdiction over such products.31

The Supreme Court's decision clarifies that the FDA cannot assert jurisdiction over cigarettes and
other tobacco products unless Congress enacts legislation to give the agency unambiguous
statutory authority over such products. Lawmakers first drafted such language during the 105th
Congress and included it in the comprehensive tobacco legislation that was introduced in an effort
to implement the 1997 proposed national tobacco settlement.


              
On June 20, 1997, a group of state attorneys general announced that they had reached an
agreement with the tobacco companies to settle the state tobacco lawsuits.32 Forty-one states and
Puerto Rico had sued the tobacco industry seeking to recover the costs, primarily Medicaid
expenditures, of treating smoking-related diseases. Under the proposed national settlement, the
industry agreed to pay $368.5 billion over the first 25 years, and $15 billion a year thereafter, to
reimburse states for their tobacco-related medical costs and pay for tobacco-control programs to
reduce tobacco use among teenagers. In addition to settling the state lawsuits, the proposed
settlement would have terminated all pending class-action lawsuits and nicotine addiction claims,
and provided the companies with immunity from such lawsuits in the future.

The proposed settlement incorporated all the provisions of the FDA tobacco rule and included
additional restrictions on marketing and advertising, as well as new warning labels. It also
proposed amending the FFDCA to classify tobacco products as Class II devices and give FDA the
authority to reduce or eliminate harmful compounds added to tobacco products or found in
smoke. A summary of the key provisions in the proposed national settlement is provided in the
box on the next page.

Public health officials criticized the restrictions the proposed settlement would have placed on
FDA's ability to regulate nicotine. For example, any proposal by the agency to reduce nicotine
yields or eliminate other harmful ingredients in cigarettes would have required formal rulemaking
with judicial review, instead of the informal, notice-and-comment rulemaking that is typically
used by federal agencies to promulgate regulations. Formal rulemaking, which is seldom used
today, involves trial-type hearings before an administrative judge, at which parties present
evidence and conduct cross-examinations. It is a rigorous and lengthy process that places a
considerable burden of proof on the agency.33 The FDA also would have been required to show

   Most federal regulations are issued under the notice-and-comment procedure established by the Administrative
Procedure Act (5 U.S.C. งง 551 et seq.). The agency publishes a notice of proposed rulemaking in the Federal
Register, solicits public comment, and incorporates in the final rule a concise statement about the rule's basis and
purpose. Courts review such rules under the "arbitrary, capricious, and abuse of discretion" standard, generally
upholding an agency's action if it is found to be rational, based on a consideration of the relevant factors, and within
the scope of the authority designated to the agency by Congress. Formal rulemaking, by contrast, is a more rigorous
and time-consuming process that tends to place a greater burden of proof on the agency promulgating the rule. Under
the proposed national settlement, the FDA would have had to show "substantial evidence" in support of its cigarette
performance standards, which is a more stringent standard than the arbitrary, capricious, and abuse of discretion
standard.

Agreement, or MSA--to settle the state lawsuits.34 The MSA did not address FDA's authority
with the states and, in November 1998, signed a contractual agreement--the Master Settlement
debate. Following the demise of S. 1415, the major cigarette companies resumed negotiations
(S. 1415) was defeated on a pair of procedural votes on June 17, 1998, after an extended floor
by the 105th Congress to pass legislation to implement the settlement ended when the McCain bill

Table 1 provides a summary of the major provisions of the McCain tobacco bill. Although the
measure was intended to implement the proposed national settlement, it was tougher on the
industry in several key respects. S. 1415 would have cost the companies $516 billion over the
first 25 years, an amount significantly higher than the figure agreed to in the proposed settlement
(i.e., $368.5 billion). It included stiffer financial penalties if the decline in underage tobacco use
did not meet the reduction targets, and it also provided the industry with fewer legal protections
than those negotiated in the June 1997 agreement.

The McCain bill also added a new Chapter IX to the FFDCA solely for the regulation of tobacco
products. That language, which was provided by Senator Frist, drew extensively on the act's
existing drug and device provisions in Chapter V, but with modifications.35 By establishing new
legal authority within the FFDCA for regulating tobacco products, the bill's sponsors sought to
address the unique challenges tobacco products present and avoid the safety and effectiveness
standard that applies to the regulation of drugs and devices. Under the new language, FDA would
be required to demonstrate that any proposed tobacco regulation was appropriate for the
protection of public health. Such a determination would involve a consideration of the risks and
benefits to the population as a whole.

The tobacco companies opposed S. 1415 and launched a $40 million advertising campaign that
helped defeat it. They portrayed the legislation as nothing more than a massive tax increase to pay
for new government spending. During the Senate floor debate, which stretched over four weeks
(May 18-June 17, 1998), lawmakers focused on where the bill's revenues should go, how to
compensate tobacco growers, and whether to limit the fees of private attorneys who were retained
by the states. Amendments were added to the bill to eliminate the so-called marriage income tax
penalty, boost funding for anti-drug programs, and cap attorneys' fees. There was no debate on
the bill's FDA provisions.

Public health officials supported many of the McCain bill's tobacco-control provisions, but were
critical of the measure's FDA provisions. They feared that the agency's attempts to implement the
new law would be blocked at every turn by lengthy legal challenges from the industry. Instead,
they sided with the FDA's arguments for asserting jurisdiction under existing law (i.e., FFDCA's
Chapter V device provisions). In its rulemaking the agency concluded that the device provisions,
which have been interpreted in case law, regulation, and agency practice for over two decades,
have established a comprehensive regulatory scheme that is appropriate for regulating tobacco
products.

Several other comprehensive tobacco bills were introduced in the 105th Congress, though none of
them saw any legislative activity.36 The bills, which were supported by the public health
community and opposed by the industry, would have given FDA explicit authority to regulate
tobacco products under the FFDCA's Chapter V drug and device provisions. In each case, the
legislation amended the act's definitions of drugs and devices to include nicotine and tobacco
products, respectively, and authorized the agency to regulate tobacco products using a standard of

protecting the public health. By avoiding having to regulate tobacco products based on safety and
effectiveness, the agency would have been able to keep such unhealthful products on the market.

This section of the report includes a brief description of the tobacco legislation introduced in the
107th Congress (2001-2002) in the wake of the Supreme Court decision, followed by a summary
of tobacco legislation introduced in the 108th to the 110th Congresses.

    
          
Several FDA tobacco bills were introduced in the 107th Congress, none of which saw any
legislative action. Four bills (i.e., S. 190 (Frist), S. 2626 (Kennedy), S. 2764 (Miller), and H.R.
2180 (Tom Davis)) adopted the same approach as the McCain legislation. They would have
created a new FFDCA Chapter IX solely for the regulation of tobacco products. Senator
Kennedy's bill (S. 2626) was almost identical to the FDA provisions in the McCain bill. The three
other bills included many of the same provisions. However, they contained a few small but
significant changes that were intended to address industry concerns over the extent of FDA's
regulatory control. For example, all three measures specified that FDA could not compel the
industry to change the composition of its products in ways that would render them "unacceptable
for adult consumption." They also required the agency to show that any proposal to restrict the
sale, distribution, advertising, and promotion of tobacco products was based on a determination
that such regulation "would be appropriate for the prevention of, or decrease in, the use of
tobacco products by children...." Finally, all three measures reserved for Congress--not FDA--
the authority to eliminate nicotine or ban tobacco products.

In addition to giving FDA new regulatory authority over tobacco products, H.R. 2180 also
contained restrictions on youth access, advertising, and marketing that were broadly similar to
those included in the McCain bill. The provisions in H.R. 2180 were subsequently incorporated
into Representative McIntyre's bill (H.R. 3940) to eliminate tobacco quotas and the price support
loan program and compensate quota owners and active growers. S. 2764 also contained
substantially similar buyout provisions.

The three remaining FDA tobacco bills introduced in the 107th Congress (i.e., S. 247 (Harkin),
H.R. 1044 (Waxman), and H.R. 1097 (Ganske)), rather than creating new legal authority for
regulating tobacco products, would have given FDA the authority to regulate tobacco products as
drug-delivery devices under Chapter V of the FFDCA. This approach was favored by some public
health advocates, but strongly opposed by the industry. As with the earlier versions introduced
during the 105th Congress, each of these bills merely amended the definitions of drugs and
devices to include nicotine and tobacco products, respectively, and specified that tobacco
regulation would be based on a general standard of protecting the public health. Additionally, the
three measures would have made effective all the provisions of the 1996 FDA tobacco rule.




                                                                           
                                                                 ข   ข 



    
          
At the beginning of the 108th Congress, Representatives McIntyre and Tom Davis reintroduced
their tobacco legislation (H.R. 140). The measure combined a buyout for quota owners and active
growers with FDA regulatory authority. H.R. 140 was supported by Philip Morris but opposed by
the public health community. In the Senate, negotiations among members of the Committee on
Health, Education, Labor, and Pension (HELP) to draft a compromise bill that had the support of
both sides came to a standstill in October 2003. Anti-smoking advocates and their congressional
supporters criticized the draft legislation for failing to give FDA sufficient authority to protect
public health.

Negotiations resumed in early 2004 and on May 20 Senators DeWine and Kennedy and
Representatives Tom Davis and Henry Waxman introduced the Family Smoking Prevention and
Tobacco Control Act (S. 2461, H.R. 4433). Both Philip Morris and the Campaign for Tobacco-
Free Kids announced their "enthusiastic" support for the legislation. On July 15, Senator DeWine
introduced the text of S. 2461 as an amendment to the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 (H.R.
4520, P.L. 108-357), which was under consideration on the Senator floor. The amendment passed
by a vote of 78-15. However, during the conference on H.R. 4520, the House conferees on
October 6 rejected the DeWine amendment. Following its rejection by the conference committee,
Senators DeWine and Kennedy reintroduced the legislation with a new bill number (S. 2974) on
October 10. The measure was passed on the Senate floor that same day without amendment by
unanimous consent. No further action was taken by either chamber.

    
          
Senators DeWine and Kennedy and Representatives Davis and Waxman reintroduced the Family
Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act on March 17, 2005. There was no legislative action
taken on the legislation during the 109th Congress.

    
          
Representatives Waxman and Davis and Senators Kennedy and Cornyn introduced H.R. 1108 and
S. 625, respectively, on February 15, 2007. As introduced the legislation was nearly identical to
H.R. 4433 and S. 2461 of the 108th Congress. While the two bills, as reported, remained broadly
similar, there were a number of significant differences between them. Table 2, beginning on page
19, summarizes the provisions in S. 625 and indicates key differences in H.R. 1108.

On August 1, 2007, the Senate HELP Committee adopted a handful of amendments to S. 625 and
approved the measure (as amended) by a vote of 13-8. On April 2, 2008, the House Energy and
Commerce Committee took up a manager's amendment to H.R. 1108, which included several
provisions intended to address the concerns of various stakeholder groups. The Committee then
adopted three additional amendments before approving the bill (as amended) by a vote of 38-12.
The House passed H.R. 1108 on July 30, 2008, by a vote of 326-102.

The Bush administration and the FDA Commissioner, Andrew von Eschenbach, had indicated
concerns regarding the legislation, specifically that the bill would be "creating a false impression




   
                                          ข   ข 



that regulated tobacco products were safe,"37 and "that this will actually encourage individuals to
smoke more rather than less."38 Additionally, the Secretary of Health and Human Services had
stated in a July 21, 2008 letter that the Bush Administration "would strongly oppose this
legislation."
