Today, September 29 December 28 is the deadline for submitting comments to the Food and Drug Administration on (FDA's docket) implementing the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act. [UPDATE: Last week the FDA extended the comment period. Notice.]

Here are several comments we found of note:

• Philip Morris USA, Inc., and U.S. Smokeless Tobacco Company LLC(Sidley Austin LLP)


• American Farm Bureau Federation


• UCSF/UC Hastings College of the Law Consortium on Law, Science & Health Policy

The comments come even as R.J. Reynolds and Lorillard are suing to block marketing restrictions in the new law that gives the FDA regulatory authority over tobacco. (AP story; Bloomberg.)
