In '''''FDA v. Brown & Williamson Tobacco Corp.''''', 529 U.S. 120 (2000), a 5-4 [[U.S. Supreme Court]] rejected an attempt by the Clinton Administration to regulate tobacco products.
The Court held that the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act (Act)<ref>21 U.S.C.S. § 301 ''et seq.''</ref>, when viewed as a whole, implicitly excluded tobacco products from the FDA's jurisdiction. The Court reasoned that if the FDA had power to regulate tobacco products, then the Act would require it to remove tobacco entirely from the market. This would be contrary to the congressional intent as illustrated by tobacco-specific legislation.
