why did the supreme court determine the food and drug administration (fda) exceeded its authority when it asserted jurisdiction to regulate tobacco products?

Respuesta :

The supreme court determine the food and drug administration (FDA) exceeded its authority when it asserted jurisdiction to regulate tobacco products because the structure and history of the FDCA did not permit the FDA to regulate tobacco products.

The FDA has previously held that it lacked the authority to regulate cigarette products, but this new stance differs from that. The FDA was unable to control tobacco products, according to the tobacco industry's arguments, because of the FDCA's structure and history.

It was determined that the FDCA gave the FDA the authority to regulate tobacco products as they were typically marketed—that is, without manufacturer claims of therapeutic benefit.

The FDA educates the public about tobacco products, especially cigarettes, and the risks they provide in order to safeguard Americans against tobacco-related illness and death.
