Exclusive production has been proposed as a unique environment in which to study vector meson photoproduction, as well as light meson production via Double-Pomeron exchange. In this talk we present CMS measurements of photon-induced and Central Exclusive Production from Run 1 of the LHC. The results, based on up to 5 fb$^{-1}$ of $pp$ collisions collected at $\sqrt{s}=7$ TeV, are compared to theoretical predictions and other experimental measurements.
