title: Q&A: Mitchell Zeller on the FDA and tobacco.
abstract: By law, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has the authority, through its Center for Tobacco Products, to regulate the manufacture, marketing, and distribution of tobacco products. Its director, Mitchell Zeller, JD, talks about how the center, though its research, public education, and enforcement activities, aims to "make tobacco-related death and disease a part of America's past."
