FDA Tobacco Bill Passes U.S. House: HR1256 excludes cigars, pipe tobacco from potential FDA regulation

Thursday, April 02 2009

By Chris McCalla, Legislative Director,

The Senate could take up its version of the bill after the two-week spring recess that begins this weekend, and supporters have expressed confidence they can overcome expected resistance from tobacco-state senators. The bill also is supported by President Obama; Democrats supported the bill by a 228-8 margin, while 70 Republicans voted for it, with 104 opposed.

An alternative offered by Rep. Steve Buyer, R-Indiana, was defeated 284-142.
