The Food and Drug Administration, also known as the FDA, is necessary for the protection of public health. This agency assures the security, safety and efficiency of both veterinary and human drugs. They are the agency in control of our nation’s food supply, cosmetics and cosmetic testing, medical devices, and products such as biological products and such products that emit radiation. One may more commonly know of the FDA for their role in protecting the public’s’ health by educating on healthy food choices, ensuring the safety of widely prescribed medications, attempting to reduce smoking by minors, and educating the public at large on the dangers of tobacco products. Underage tobacco consumption is a very concerning matter. If you want to learn how to quit-smoking, http://www.healthline.com/health, is where my friend Justin found some great information that helped him to quit smoking. This is a large issue we are facing in today’s society. Other important things the FDA controls is the development of medical products to respond to natural and deliberate threats to our health. This is the role The Food and Drug Administration plays in our Nation’s counterterrorism campaign. Whether you know it or not this agency plays an active role in your everyday life. From the food you eat to the medications and vitamins you take the FDA is looking out for your health everyday.
