Tobacco oversight praised

Last month, I witnessed President Barack Obama sign long-overdue legislation granting the U.S. Food and Drug Administration the authority to regulate tobacco products.

Sen. John Cornyn tirelessly fought to pass this legislation for years, and during the Senate debate, he voted against every effort to weaken or delay the bill.

Despite all the harm they cause, tobacco products had been exempt from the FDA's common-sense regulations that apply to virtually every other product we consume.

The new law will stop the tobacco companies from targeting our kids with glitzy advertising. It will stop tobacco companies from making misleading claims that some cigarettes are safer than others and will require large, graphic health warnings that cover the top half of the front and back of cigarette packs.

Congress took a monumental step in the fight against cancer in passing the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act. It will save lives and reduce health care costs.

As a country, we've taken a giant step forward in making America a much healthier nation.
