FDA to regulate e-cigs as tobacco products

[slimvictor]

RICHMOND, VA (AP) - The Food and Drug Administration plans to regulate smokeless electronic cigarettes as tobacco products and won't try to regulate them under stricter rules for drug-delivery devices.

The federal agency says it intends to propose rule changes to treat e-cigarettes the same traditional cigarettes.

E-cigarettes are plastic and metal devices that heat a liquid nicotine solution and produce vapor instead of smoke.

This is good, I was always curious about e cigarettes when I was quitting but never wanted to invest in something that seemed kinda cheap in that you could buy one in the local outlet mall. Just saying, the mall in question was not very impressive. It had lots of vendors selling cheap looking toys for 20+$.

Seconded. They are indeed "drug delivery devices". The drug in question is, of course, nicotine.
