House passes bill to regulate tobacco

A bill allowing the FDA to regulate tobacco just passed the House.

It wouldn't allow a ban, but it would regulate things like adulterants added to the tobacco and the manipulation of nicotine levels.

Bush and the Republicans are opposed, no surprise, though no veto is (yet) promised.

I don't think they need to threaten a veto, it will never make it through the Senate.
