E-Cigarette Ban On Its Way?

May 4, 2009 RSS Feed Print

An update on my post from a couple weeks ago: Jacob Sullum of Reason reports that the FDA will announce tomorrow a ban on "electronic cigarettes," nicotine delivery devices that resemble cigarettes. One importer of e-cigarettes has filed suit against the FDA, claiming the agency is blocking its products.

I'll post more about this tomorrow when the FDA releases an official statement.

E-cigs are very common nowadays, It takes away almost half of the harmful chemicals in a conventional cigarette. Quitting smoking is really hard and this would make a good substitute for a cig. I've seen lots of e-cigs on the net and I found the about http://electroniccigaretteinformation.org, it's rather informative and it answered common misconceptions about e-cigarettes.
