On July 30, 2008, the House of Representatives approved by a 326 to 102 vote an amended version of H.R. 1108, the “Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act,” which would give the FDA the authority to regulate tobacco products. The bill now moves to the Senate. Note that the President has threatened to veto the House version of the bill.
