The bill has not yet been assigned a number. The legislation to grant the Food and Drug Administration the authority to regulate tobacco and protect America's children is identical to that introduced in the 106 th Congress by Rep. Ganske and is a bipartisan effort. It would grant the FDA the authority to require that consumers be informed about what ingredients are in tobacco products on the market and to regulate any harmful ingredients. It would restrict those forms of marketing that have the greatest appeal to children. It is also clear in the bill that the FDA would be granted no authority over tobacco farming.
