"Another issue is that the FDA contends that it has authority and jurisdiction to regulate these products. Understand the FDA’s reason and purpose is public safety. If e-cigarettes are drugs or drug delivery devices because of the nicotine in them or because they are smoking cessation devices, then the FDA needs to approve the product before it can be sold. It doesn’t mean they can’t eventually be sold; it just means that before they can be sold the manufacturers have to prove safety and effectiveness to the FDA experts through proper testing. You are probably aware that this issue is currently being litigated in federal court in Washington D.C."

Counsel that really knows what they are talking about.
