FDA Is Going To Regulate Electronic Cigarettes The Same Way As Tobacco Cigarettes
This is big news and good news for all ecig smokers.
The FDA has decided to oversee electronic cigarettes the same way it does tobacco products. The agency will not regulate the vapor-producing devices under the stricter federal rules that apply to medical products.
The FDA says it decided not to appeal a federal appeals court ruling asserting that e-cigarettes could be regulated as tobacco products and “are not drugs or devices” (unless specifically marketed for therapeutic purposes, such as purporting to help people quit smoking).

I'm really glad that FDA did not succeed in destroying the ecig industry and taking away a healthier alternative to tobacco smoking. They tried hard but failed

E-cigarettes are so much better than any patch or medication to help quit smoking. I'm happy to hear that the FDA was unsuccessful in their attempt to regulate the E-cig industry.
