He directs a new agency in the federal Food and Drug Administration -- the Center for Tobacco Products -- that is writing rules to govern the previously unregulated tobacco industry. In last week's interview, Deyton twice stressed that he is not an anti-tobacco zealot. 'I am not an expert in tobacco,' he said. 'But I am an expert in public health, and I am an expert in government health programs.' And what Deyton promises is 'methodical, science-based tobacco regulation.' But Deyton already has been greeted with worry from growers in tobacco-producing states like Kentucky, and three lawsuits from the industry challenging the agency's authority to restrict advertising and marketing.

It's under fire from cities across the country, the Food and Drug Administration and a metro parent. If you've been to the mall lately, you may have seen a kiosk selling electronic cigarettes. We've found the kiosks at Independence Center and Oak Park mall. If you walk past the kiosk at Oak Park, a salesperson will ask if you smoke. At Smoke51 we were shown a product that closely resembled a real cigarette. It comes with a battery and filter and even comes in flavors. 'There's a heating element that steams water, nicotine, and flavor so you're going to see me blow out smoke but it's actually steam or water vapor,' the salesman said. There are many questions about how this product is marketed.
