Congress is in favor. The president is in favor. The general public isn’t so sure, though, about a measure augmenting the federal government’s power to regulate the manufacture and marketing of tobacco products.

In Gallup polling fielded between passage of the bill by Congress and its signing into law last week by the president, respondents split almost down the middle on whether they favor it (46 percent) or oppose it (52 percent). Among smokers, 28 percent were in favor and 69 percent were opposed.
