FDA To Regulate "E-Cigs"

The Food and Drug administration will soon decide how it plans to regulate the rapidly growing industry of popular electronic cigarette devices known as "E-Cigs." The device uses nicotine infused vapor that looks like smoke but doesn't have the chemicals or tar. The FDA has a difficult task ahead. Some call the new devices "the first disruptive technology" toward getting rid of cigarette use, and others worry that they are just another gateway to getting children hooked on nicotine. Public health groups say the marketing campaigns and amount of candy-like flavors target young people, and urge the FDA to quickly set standards.
