TCN Harvey Leadership Webinar Series
The FDA and Tobacco: Past, Present and Future
Wednesday, June 12, 2013
12 p.m. PT/1 p.m. MT/2 p.m. CT/3 p.m. ET - (90 minutes)
Summary:
For the last 4 years, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has had the authority to regulate the sale, promotion and manufacturing of tobacco products; as a result, product regulation is now a component of a comprehensive national effort to reduce the death and disease from tobacco use.
To help us understand the complex issues facing the FDA, Mitch Zeller, newly appointed Director, Center for Tobacco Products, FDA, will provide his expert perspective on what transpired to create the Center for Tobacco Products, some current issues of interest (e-cigarettes, cigarettes, reduced risk tobacco products) and his vision for the future of FDA regulation of tobacco. His presentation will be followed by a discussion with expert panelists, Maggie Mahoney, Tobacco Control Legal Consortium, and Jeanne Finberg, of the California Attorney General’s office.
This webinar will be the fourth in the Tobacco Control Network’s Harvey Leadership Webinar Series, which is dedicated to building new leaders in the tobacco control movement.
