Interesting article. first , I see no reason for the FDA to not act on the nicotine mandate . The general public once into Obama Care I believe will complain vigorously about having to help pay for smoking related illness . Also , if people want to smoke low nicotine cigarettes they don't need a FDA mandate to do that. I can envision tobacco companies offering true " light " cigarettes and being very sucessful . I understand the XXII business plan but I'm not quite sure I understand the importance of the FDA side of it since tobacco isn't produced under FDA rules and because big tobacco really doesn't have to be forced into adopting low nicotine cigarettes. They spent 300 milliom trying to produce it and failed.
