For advocates of tobacco harm reduction products, the subcommittee hearing was a train wreck. The hearing featured testimony from Senator Dick Durbin (D-IL.) and Acting Commissioner of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Dr. Janet Woodcock. Senator Durbin remarked that the “burden is on the manufacturer” to show that their products help smokers quit, stating “remember that claim, made over and over again? Prove it! You can’t. They know they can’t.” The hearing then takes a turn for the worse when it becomes apparent the acting FDA commissioner is unfamiliar with certain FDA tobacco committees. For example, Rep. Mark DeSaulnier (D-CA) asks Dr. Woodcock whether she trusts “the tobacco products scientific committee and their advice.” After a bit of eye blinks, the acting head of the FDA responds that she’s “not familiar with [that] committee,” and apologizes, remarking “I’m kind of new to the job.”
