Food and Drug Administration officials on Friday, Feb. 24, 2023 pledged a reset in the agencys tobacco program, responding to criticisms that a lack of direction has hampered federal efforts to regulate cigarettes, vaping devices and other industry products.

Tobacco companies complain that the FDA is unwilling to approve new alternative products — including e-cigarettes — that might help adults quit smoking.
Vaping industry representatives said they were unimpressed by the FDA update, which they said would continue to result in denials for most vaping products.
