It literally is the government's job. That's the whole point of the FDA.
I think they're making a statement about the proper role of goverment, not what it currently does.
And in NZ it's the Ministry of Health.
FDA's job is to tell corporations what they can and can't put in your body. You're still welcome to seek out those poisons and consume them. Cigarettes should be no different.
