FDA Investigating E-cigarettes

MERGED POST:
I just realized that comment probably doesn't make a lot of sense without the original news story posted which seems to have triggered the story from today. Here is the original story:

Ecigarettes: A Healthier Option for Smokers?

It's all based on the advertising of the company SmokingEverywhere.com and their insinuation that it is a smoking cessation product.

And the fun begins ......

A: A supplier will either needed an ATF License and it will be regulated by the ATF so they get their tax money.
B: A supplier will need a pharmecuetical license because it will be classified as such ... End result, a pharmecuetical tax ...

In the end = It will be taxed ....

Love some of the comments; especially the guy who equates e-smoking with a blow up sex partner. Bet he would make a charming dinner guest.

I think the FDA will take years to investigate. The problem they face is not the device but the juice. Since the juice is home made, they wont be able to regulate it.

That right there is the best part of the e-cig, it is just an accessory not the part they will be able to regulate.

If the juice gets regulated, then i'll make my own.

Sadly ... it wouldn't even get past the first line of defense ... the post office. Let alone, the dog sniffers through each piece of mail, plus a secret service agent probably opening it ...

he see's liquid and an electronic device ... its over with ...

although wfaa.com had run a story on "smoking anywhere" the day before, i dont think they are the exact reason the FDA got involved exactly or the pieces are related.

Smoking Everywhere E-Cigarette has no tobacco, no tar, no real smoke and no other chemicals like traditional cigarette that can cause lung cancer

that's the extent of their "egregious" health claims, unless they have deleted something ?

it will be interesting to see to what extent the fda looks into them an how long it will take them. im sure there are alot more pressing issues that the fda needs to focus on besides ecigs at the moment.
