Dr. Robert Califf, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) commissioner, testified about the ongoing proliferation of illegal Chinese nicotine vaporizers, or “vapes,” and potential upcoming regulations on menthol cigarettes at a congressional budget hearing on April 18.

The commissioner fielded questions on drug and food testing, prescription drug shortages, plans by the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) to reschedule marijuana, domestic drug manufacturing, infant formula contamination, FDA budget constraints, and the drug overdose epidemic.
