The House Appropriations Committee approved an amendment that could save the vaping industry from a de facto ban caused by pending Food and Drug Administration regulations. The measure, which was approved by a vote of 31 to 19, changes the cutoff date for a crucial grandfather clause from February 15, 2007, when almost none of the current e-cigarette companies existed, to the effective date of the regulations.
"This is fantastic news for public health and small businesses," says Gregory Conley, president of the American vaping Association (AVA). "The vapor industry and its consumers do not oppose sensible regulation, but the FDA's proposal is anything but sensible."
