Chevron up in smoke? Tobacco at the crossroads of administrative law

Article Abstract:

The US Court of Appeals for the 4th Circuit, in Brown & Williamson Tobacco Corp. v. Food & Drug Administration (FDA), ruled that tobacco products fall outside the FDA's regulatory jurisdiction. The Court erred by disregarding the Supreme Court's ruling in Chevron U.S.A., Inc. v. Natural Resources Defense Council. This ruling requires judges to defer to an administrative agency's reasonable interpretation of a statute so long as it does not clearly violate congressional intent.
