The Food and Drug Administration on Thursday released long-awaited rules that bring the burgeoning industry under federal oversight.
The changes will limit e-cigarette sales to minors and require new health warnings. In a shift vigorously opposed by the industry, manufacturers must seek federal permission to continue marketing all e-cigarettes launched since 2007, making up the vast majority of the market.
Most companies will have to submit premarket applications that will undergo review to assess their impact on the "public health." Those that don't submit the required information or don't meet federal standards would have their products removed from the market.

typical crushing government strangle hold to tax and regulate every business till it folds or moves to another country...then sold back to the us without any oversight at all....
Whether you use e-cigs are not, you have to see how disturbing this all is. It's all set up so that Big Tobacco will be the ones getting their pockets lined. And the other smaller vendors won't be able to afford the million dollar certification and fold. Jobs and businesses lost. Such a shame.
Does this mean since it is a tobacco product no more vaping in stores and at schools?
@214 as someone who quit smoking thanks to vaping, I'm sad to hear folks are vaping in stores and schools. I don't vape anywhere I can't smoke. Those @sshats are the ones that make it bad for those of us with manners.
