About TTB
The Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) is a bureau under the Department of the Treasury. We employ staff across the country, including our Headquarters Offices in Washington, D.C., and the National Revenue Center in Cincinnati, Ohio.
Our staff are highly educated and technically trained; more than half are analysts, chemists, investigators and auditors. In addition, a large number of employees serve as financial, legal, information management, and computer specialists. See how we are organized.
Our Mission
Our mission is to collect Federal excise taxes on alcohol, tobacco, firearms, and ammunition and to assure compliance with Federal tobacco permitting and alcohol permitting, labeling, and marketing requirements to protect consumers.
It wasn't the the part about the collection of taxes that caught my attention. I was (and I think still am) trying to find the agency with authority over the manufacturing of alcohol. Who checks for compliance? Alcohol isn't a food or a drug. It appears to be in its own category.
Is there a way nicotine could someday be severed from combustible tobacco?

Back to tobacco -
Does the FDA have authority over other agencies? As @zoiDman wondered, it seems there would have to be some action to change the Internal Revenue Code definition of "tobacco product." (page 3009 - no, you don't have to scroll through all of it).

I know a couple of years ago, a corner store got busted by the atf,because they were sell cigs that came out of an city ( less tax ) and selling them in the city with higher tax, and with the cigs not having the correct tax stamp owner got 5 yrs
MVB gets it, thats why the moved out or my state to AZ.
Nope. I appear to have gotten it right the first time.
From the ATF website:
ATF's Alcohol and Tobacco Enforcement Programs purpose is to target, identify, and dismantle criminal enterprises with ties to violent crime, that traffic illicit liquor or contraband tobacco in interstate commerce; seize and deny their access to assets and funds; and prevent their encroachment into the legitimate alcohol or tobacco industry.
As of January 24, 2003, The U.S. Department of the Treasury, Alcohol and Tobacco Tax & Trade Bureau (TTB), is responsible for all inquiries in regards to the:
- Manufacture, wholesale and importation of alcohol and tobacco;
- Regulating the alcohol and tobacco industries and Special Occupational TAX (SOT); and
- Collection of the Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Ammunition Excise Taxes imposed on manufactures and importers of these products.
Alcohol and Tobacco Enforcement
What is Alcohol and Tobacco Diversion?
It is the trafficking of alcohol and tobacco products in avoidance of Federal, State or foreign taxes or in violation of Federal, State or foreign law.
So, umm, I think, umm, under the authority of the Dept. of the Treasury, TTB collects taxes and under the authority of the Dept. of Justice, ATF (basically) enforces the collection of taxes. How can the FDA go forward with controlling the vaping market without reconciling the regulations of other agencies?

That's a big business. Somewhere on here I linked to an article about a guy who buys cigarettes in WV, then sells them out of a van in NYC. He was making lots of money.
I was always lead to believe that they were tax collectors with badges and guns
Eliot Ness worked for the U.S. Treasury Department. The Dept. of ATF was created later.
Even though I watched the reruns, i still haz a feel old.
I think i need to start a vape church for tax exemptions
Amazing documentary on Netflix called PRESCRIPTION THUGS.
I highly recommend it.
Gives a lot of insight to Big Pharma.

You could include vaping as communion. Our Lady of Perpetual Clouds.
Can I get a "vapemen" to that!
All kidding aside in Alabama you can open a religious day care and not be licensed or inspected. (Fire department)will look at the building, but other than that nothing!
