If you haven't read the menthol lawsuit, I'd highly recommend it great entertainment! I really like this one:

"30. Defendant U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) is the federal agency charged with regulating the marketing of tobacco products in the United States, including menthol in combustible cigarettes. By statute, FDA “shall (1) promote the public health by promptly and efficiently reviewing clinical research and taking appropriate action on the marketing of regulated products in a timely manner[.]” 21 U.S.C. § 393(b); see also Tobacco Control Act findings, P.L. 111–31, Div A, § 2, 123 Stat. 1776, 1780 (June 22, 2009) (noting further that FDA possesses a “mandate to promote health and reduce the risk of harm”). FDA is headquartered in Silver Spring, Maryland.

Sure seems like FDA's commitment to follow the science has boxed them in on a future low nicotine mandate lawsuit!!
