churnmag.com: The Trump Administration’s pick to head the United States Food and Drug Administration, Dr. Scott Gottlieb, has been confirmed to the position of FDA Commissioner.
Vaping Post is reporting that Gottlieb, who has had detractors and supporters on both sides of the aisle, was confirmed on Tuesday by the Senate and is expected to take up the post as soon as possible.
The confirmation comes as a relief for the vaping industry, as it has high hopes that Gottlieb will carry through on President Donald Trump’s campaign promise to roll back regulations to make it easier for small businesses, like the ones found in the vape industry, to thrive. It is also thought that the new FDA Commissioner might do more than just roll back some regulations; it is possible he could go as far as reversing the agency’s deeming rule that led to vaping being categorized as a tobacco product with the same regulations.
