A federal law that gives the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (
FDA) the power to regulate the contents of tobacco products, disclose the ingredients of these products, and prohibit marketing campaigns that target children.

The law also requires tobacco companies to use large, graphic warnings on their cartons.
