Intro:

The FDA tobacco bill, also known as the "Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act," or the "Waxman tobacco bill" is legislation designed to give the U.S. Food and Drug Administration the power to regulate tobacco products. It was first introduced in the U.S. Congress in February, 2007, and was reintroduced in 2008 and again in 2009.[1]

News reports have indicated the bill was produced through negotiations between Philip Morris and the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids.[2]
