Dear Michael,

Congress passed the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act in 2009 to address tobacco's impact on public health. The Act grants the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) authority to regulate tobacco products, with a special emphasis on preventing their use by children.

Makes sense to me. Especially since it's so common to see that 14 or 15 year old trying to buy a $20 Opus X at the local cigar store. Give me a break.

"I received a reply from Sen. Levin, who told me of legislation pending that would take the teeth, if you will, out of this FDA abomination. Didn't hear back from Stabenow. Rep. Dingell sounded like he supports the FDA regs. He never gets my vote, anyways."

So did Sen. Levin say if he was for or against the measure?
