FDA wants to crack down on cigars and the racist sexist homophobic cancer-pro-ic? sales practices employed by tobacco shops. They claim juris-my-diction from the 'herp derp zomg teh kidz might be smokin act of 2009'; The nanny that was the sponsor of the bill did a spittake, claiming he never thought that unelected busybodies would rush out and try to regulate something that the 1% might like. (among others, ahem)
Wow, a Feral agency 'finding' new powers 'hidden' in poorly written, unneeded laws. Sounds like a Progressive feature, not a bug. Guess the Feral Agency rule is 'f!ck you, we are the government' not, 'well, it doesn't say we can enforce it, guess we need to go regulate something we are expressly allowed to.'
*title refers to the fact that for some damned, fish brained reason customers would have to choose cigars from a black and white catalog- no smelling or feeling the merchandise allowed. And the windows would have to be blacked out so no children could see the evil tobacco products being sold. For shame!
