It's likely that they'll also work as "mission accomplished" that'll kill out the fervor for some other bills that would increase FDA regulations on e-cigarette flavors and marketing practices.
This seems to be the missing 'smoking gun' here. What bills have been presented recently that would have scared Altria into supporting this less effective one?
edit: ok crap I see I missed this point you made about Pallone's bill. But still, that bill was only presented last month, so what others are there, if any? Really I'm just asking why Altria saw the need to do this. So I'm not just asking about bills. Were there some studies done on smoking that have influenced congress in recent years or something?
