FDA Commissioner Scott Gottlieb announced his resignation yesterday after having launched an aggressive campaign against teen smoking and the opioid crisis during his time in the post. The announcement came as a surprise to many.
Food and Drug Administration Commissioner Scott Gottlieb is leaving his post as the agency wages pitched battles against teen smoking and the opioid crisis, and tackles complex new rules to regulate some cannabis products.
"Scott's leadership inspired historic results from the FDA team, which delivered record approvals of both innovative treatments and affordable generic drugs, while advancing important policies to confront opioid addiction, tobacco and youth e-cigarette use, chronic disease, and more," Azar said in a statement.
His tobacco policies have not come without criticism. Some have blamed his decision to allow e-cigarettes to stay on the market for years after they were initially supposed to come off for fueling an"epidemic" of teen vaping. For the past year, Gottlieb has tried to push policies to curb teen use while keeping the products available for adult smokers.
Gottlieb was sworn in as FDA Commissioner in May 2017. He served numerous stints at the agency, including as deputy commissioner for medical and scientific affairs and as a senior advisor to the FDA commissioner.
