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.
烟草制品生产商因最高法院的一项裁决而洋洋得意，该裁决可能会大大削弱美国食品和药物管理局在监管烟草和尼古丁产品方面的权力。
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.
上周五，最高法院推翻了一项司法法规，即《雪佛龙原则》，该法规规定法院在某些法律问题上应该听取监管机构的意见。烟油制造商认为这一决定是他们与美国食品药品监督管理局斗争中的有力武器，以阻止FDA试图禁止销售大多数的烟油产品。
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.
美国食品和药物管理局认为其禁止销售超过100万个烟油产品的决定符合2009年颁布的一项法律，该法律规定只有在保护公共卫生方面“适当”时，该机构才批准新的烟草和尼古丁产品。而烟油公司在法官面前屡试不爽，试图说服法官认为FDA的方法是非法的。如今，在最高法院的决定的带动下，位于华盛顿的两个烟油交易组织看到了突破的可能性。
