The current nicotine content level is the standard. What the FDA will do is maintain that as a standard and "be done with it". Without such regulation, what guarantee do you have that the cigarette makers wont add more nicotine to keep you addicted?

This is for adults. It's more about disclosure than anything else.
We label bleach bottles with minimum requirements. We label food with minimum requirements. Why not tobacco?

These are all regulated by the Federal Trade Commission.
Food and Drug Adminstration is responsible for ensuring the relative safety of a food or drug product...which I know in this case is an oxymoron.
