The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has appointed epidemiologist Brian King as director of the Center for Tobacco Products (CTP) – an appointment that has not gone down well with the US vaping industry.
He succeeds Mitch Zeller, who retired in April. Interim director Michele Mital – who had been tipped to remain in the top post – will revert to the position of deputy when King assumes his position on 3rd July.
