Tobacco is a product processed from leaves of the tobacco plant. It can be consumed in several ways, including by smoking, snuffing and chewing.
On June 12, 2009, the Congress passed a bill which will regulate tobacco products in several ways, if signed by President Barack Obama. President Obama has said that he will sign the bill. The bill would ban most types of flavored tobacco products and advertisements that could appeal to children and the use of "mild" and "light" to label tobacco products. It will also regulate the amount of nicotine in cigarettes, warning labels and several other aspects of the industry.NPR: [1](June 12, 2009)
