Local regulations at the city/town level have motivated increased state and federal control of OTC cold remedies. Another show on PBS right before Frontline noted that a state senator couldn't get a behind-the-counter law passed until the local councils started passing a bunch of different ordinances. Since pharmaceutical companies like things standardized, they stopped fighting the state laws.

Interesting, and if true, not at all surprising. Necessity is the mother of invention.
