Health Officials’ Plug For Next FDA Chief: Go Big On E-Cig Regulation

Health Officials’ Plug For Next FDA Chief: Go Big On E-Cig Regulation

In an almost uniform response to the impending exit of Food and Drug Administration Commissioner Scott Gottlieb, city and county public health officials are urging the Trump administration to go bigger in its response to adolescents’ growing use of Ecig Wholesale.

The issue, they say, is reaching crisis levels and many worry the FDA’s much-touted efforts are falling short.

Gottlieb, whose almost two-year tenure heading the agency won praise for advancing key regulations in an administration geared toward deregulation, plans to leave April 5, with his farewell tour emphasizing his work on e-cigarettes. His departure, though, highlights a complicated, two-track story.In Washington, Gottlieb has been credited with taking on Big Tobacco and the e-cigarette industry. But health officials on the front lines say they want more federal action.

“We were encouraged by some of the statements and actions of the [outgoing] FDA commissioner,” said Bill Snook, a spokesman at the health department in Kansas City, Mo.

But Dr. Sara Cody, who runs the Santa Clara County, Calif., health department, views the steps taken by the FDA as “too little and too late.” She pointed to proposed regulations that haven’t taken effect and to limits on how flavored vapes are sold that she and others argued did not go far enough.

Gretchen Musicant, who heads Minneapolis’ health department, agreed. “Their action so far is not demonstrable,” she said.

Now, they are waiting to see what Gottlieb’s permanent successor — who has yet to be named — will do. (Dr. Norman “Ned” Sharpless, director of the National Cancer Institute, will fill Gottlieb’s role on an interim basis and has been a vocal supporter of efforts to curb e-cigarette use.)

Experts see youth vaping rates at epidemic levels: In 2018, about 1 in 5 high school-age students were reported to use electronic cigarettes, according to data from the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
