I search every day for these stories.. The part that got me interested is a quote that made me wonder.

If other countries can ban, why exactly can't the FDA?

"The FDA now plans to regulate e-cigarettes under the 2009 law that authorized it to oversee tobacco. It cannot ban them, as Japan, Brazil, and Mexico have. It can regulate e-cigarettes marketed as cessation tools, requiring evidence from clinical trials. And it could approve messages that they are less harmful than cigarettes, but only if manufacturers submit evidence of a net benefit to public health."

E-cigarettes present a question of safety Republican American

They tried to ban them in 2009 as an unapproved drug delivery device and lost in district court and then all 12 appellate court justices voted them down. The district court said they could regulate them if they were deemed tobacco products which is why many on here are watching what they do towards that.
