House Measure Boosts Tobacco Regulation
---------------------------------------



The House, meanwhile, has voted grant to regulators new authority to
oversee the tobacco industry. The measure would allow the Food and Drug
Administration to reject new tobacco products, bar additives, and
restrict advertising. The measure is likely to face a Republican
filibuster in the Senate.
