E-cigarette Sale Ban For Minors Nears Law In State

DOVER — Delaware’s Senate nearly unanimously passed legislation Tuesday that would ban the sale of e-cigarettes to minors.

According to the National Youth Tobacco Survey, the percentage of high school students reporting e-cigarette use jumped from 4.7 percent in 2011 to 10 percent in 2012.

Eighteen lawmakers from both sides of the aisle joined bill sponsor Rep. Deborah Hudson, R-Fairthorne, in touting the legislation.

So, Delaware's government regulates e-cigarettes, whose only purpose is to deliver nicotine, yet the federal government doesn't make any move to regulate tobacco as a nicotine delivery substance, and allows tobacco companies to lace it with other addictive substances put there to promote its use, many of which are toxic and/or cancer causing. 1300 deaths every day in the U.S. from tobacco.
How many from e-cigarettes?
Puzzling.

It's an addictive drug, so, yes.
