The history of the US Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) regulation of tobacco products is fraught with failures. A first effort to regulate tobacco products was completely dismantled. Despite robust authority to act, the current iteration of the FDA has also struggled to succeed. While the public health community may be frustrated by the lack of progress to date, recent developments have potentially shown advocates a pathway for success.
美国食品药品监督管理局(FDA)对烟草制品的监管历史充满了失败。对烟草制品进行监管的首次努力被彻底推翻。尽管拥有强有力的行动权力,但FDA的当前版本也一直在努力取得成功。虽然公共卫生界可能对迄今为止缺乏进展感到沮丧,但最近的发展可能为倡导者们展示了一条成功之路。
