((The source says the new FDA rule will say that "cigarettes and smokeless
tobacco are delivery devices for nicotine...a drug that causes addiction and
other significant pharmacological effects.
The rule will say the FDA has jurisdiction here...because it can regulate any
"drug or device....intended to affect the structure or any function in the
body. Nicotine in cigarettes and smokeless tobacco "...does that...because it
causes and sustains addiction."
The President is expected to introduce new rules that apply only to sale
of tobacco to minors...limits that have previously been discussed...on how
cigarettes can be sold and advertised. Senator Edward Kennedy...a important
tobacco opponent today applauded the president's plan:
KENNEDY: THE GREATEST PUBLIC HEALTH THREAT IS BASICALLY TOBACCO IN OUR

((He's a 1st team all-american and the Southern Conference offensive
player of the year. Despite his recent success, VMI tailback Thomas Haskins has
spent most of his career overcoming adversity. Coming to VMI as a 145 pound
freshman was his physical obstacle.
((BILL STEWART/VMI HEAD COACH:))
((THOMAS HASKINS/VMI TAILBACK:))
((STEVE MASON:))
Haskins now weighs about 180 pounds, 8 more than last season. He bench
presses 340 and squats 500!!
((HASKINS:))
With last years entire receiving core gone, there will be even more pressure
on Haskins, who will also assume some return duties this season.
((:))
Haskins is not only VMI's all time leading rusher, he also competes on the
Keydet track team. Steve mason, News 7 sports.))
