So they can't ban eliquid because they can't ban an entire category. And they can't ban flavoring because they aren't cigarettes.
This should clarify things quite a bit...

I'm not sure if they can ban eliquid, but I do know they can establish limits on the nicotine content.So they can't ban eliquid because they can't ban an entire category.
Flavored TobaccoAnd they can't ban flavoring because they aren't cigarettes.
On September 22, 2009 a ban on cigarettes containing certain characterizing flavors went into effect. The ban, authorized by the new Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act, is part of a national effort by FDA to reduce smoking in America.
That's a regulation limiting the size bottle of soda you can buy. It's not a ban. Although it's a perfect example of the types of things they can and can't do.

Regulation of E-Cigarettes and Other Tobacco Products
It isn't very long, at it goes straight to the point.
At the very least I expect them to make juice containers list the ingredients on the packaging. That may or may not include nutritional information. They did that a few years ago with any product that people ingest/inhale so I don't really see juice as being any different in that aspect. That will raise the cost for the manufacturers and that cost will more than likely be passed to the consumer.
Outside of that we'll have to wait and see I guess.
I'm not an Expert in any of this by any means.
But I thought that the TTB was the Agency who Enforces Tobacco Regulations. Like the way a Police Officer enforces Laws and Codes.

Up til I started vaping I mistakenly believed tobacco was under the ATF (The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives)
I'm wondering if they will start by putting Mom and Pop-type liquid vendors on the Internet out of business by requiring an FDA inspection of their "mixing facility".
not really cause that would effect patches gum and lozenges and BD are also a good friend to the government
