Is it true?

Is it true that the FDA is going to regulate E-juice? What will that mean.....more money. What about prefiled carts? My wife and I just quit smoking.....should I panic?

I would not panic. I have only been halfway following the stories regarding the FDA, but they will be treating e-cigs as a tobacco product and not as a drug delivery system. To be honest, I cannot see why the FDA should be regulating e-cigs, but they have to regulate everything they can, I guess. Besides, if they start trying to ban e-juice, you can always make your own, they do not regulate the basic ingredients.

Before making any uninformed conclusions,

Does a substance that is highly addictive, potentially needs to be handled with some caution (depending on strenght,) and poses no significant health risks need to be regulated?

I guess some of the things regulation would cover:

a) Of Age sales only
b) No marketing to non smokers
c) Accurate dosing
d) Product "purity"
e) ?

Currently in the US, does someone need to be licensed to sell tobacco and what are the requirements to get licensed?

I would assume at a liquid manufacturing level, the nicotine itself would have to be "certified" ie. not simply "have nic juice, will make ejuice."

hmmm

There will be a period where the FDA has to go to rulemaking process and ask for public comments and thats when we need to gear up and write the FDA to protest taxes and excessive regulation on e-cigs and e-juice. It is a slightly lengthy process. We have time to prepare.

Yes, it requires a license. Requirements to get one vary from state to state. Usually (as with alcohol lsales licenses) they limit the number of licenses in a geographical area and you have to be a legal adult, conform to sales & advertising laws and I think you usually cannot be a convicted felon.
