The E-Cigarette Summit USAFDA’s comprehensive plan for the regulation of tobacco and nicotine was announced in 2017 during the first Trump Administration. Events in 2018 overtook efforts to implement that plan. Former Commissioner Gottlieb’s resignation in 2019 was the final nail in the coffin of the 2017 plan.

Retired CTP Center Director Mitch Zeller will attempt to address these simple issues. Let’s see if he can pull it off.
