Zeller to speak at tobacco outlet meeting

Mitch Zeller, the director of the US Food and Drug Administration’s Center for Tobacco Products, has accepted an invitation to speak at the NATO (National Association of Tobacco Outlets) show next year.

The show is due to be held on April 22-23 at the Paris Hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Zeller’s appearance, NATO said, would provide an opportunity for show attendees to hear directly from the person at the FDA who oversees the regulation of cigarettes, roll-your-own tobacco, and smokeless tobacco products, and who is overseeing the extension of regulations to cigars, pipe tobacco, electronic cigarettes, and hookah tobacco.
