Should the government regulate tobacco?

Should the FDA regulate tobacco and nicotine levels in cigarettes? Right now, cigarette makers and other tobacco manufacturers are free to use the nicotine levels they want (that's the part that forms a physical addiction).

Would the country be best served by having the product of a private industry regulated by the government? Opinions are bound to be all over the table on that one, and they should be.

It appears pretty clear to me that curbing tobacco use us a main concern for some agencies these days. While I'm a non-smoker, the right of smokers to smoke in private is a freedom that should continue, even with reduced and/or controlled nicotine levels. Is smoking heading toward oblivion? Hardly.
