WASHINGTON — Vape manufacturers are taking a victory lap over a Supreme Court decision that could dramatically weaken the Food and Drug Administration's power to regulate tobacco and nicotine products as regulators see fit.
菸草製品生產商因最高法院的一項裁決而洋洋得意,該裁決可能會大大削弱美國食品和藥物管理局在監管菸草和尼古丁產品方面的權力。
The court on Friday overturned a judicial rule, known as the Chevron doctrine, which instructed courts to defer to regulators on certain legal issues. Vape manufacturers see the decision as a powerful weapon in their fight against the FDA's efforts to ban the majority of vapes lining store shelves.
上週五,最高法院推翻了一項司法法規,即《雪佛龍原則》,該法規規定法院在某些法律問題上應該聽取監管機構的意見。煙油製造商認爲這一決定是他們與美國食品藥品監督管理局鬥爭中的有力武器,以阻止FDA試圖禁止銷售大多數的煙油產品。
The FDA has argued that its decision to ban more than 1 million vapes is in line with a 2009 law that instructed the agency to approve new tobacco and nicotine products only when they are "appropriate for the protection of public health," and vape companies have repeatedly tried, and largely failed, to convince judges that the FDA's approach has been unlawful. Now, buoyed by the Supreme Court's decision, the two vaping trade organizations in Washington see potential for a major breakthrough.
美國食品和藥物管理局認爲其禁止銷售超過100萬個煙油產品的決定符合2009年頒佈的一項法律,該法律規定只有在保護公共衛生方面“適當”時,該機構才批准新的菸草和尼古丁產品。而煙油公司在法官面前屢試不爽,試圖說服法官認爲FDA的方法是非法的。如今,在最高法院的決定的帶動下,位於華盛頓的兩個煙油交易組織看到了突破的可能性。
