"At the same time, we’re continuing to advance our framework for how we’ll regulate both novel nicotine delivery products, such as e-cigarettes, and traditional tobacco products. One goal of our efforts is to encourage innovation of less harmful products. We will ensure that all tobacco products, whatever their nicotine content or delivery mechanism, are put through an appropriate series of regulatory gates to maximize any public health benefits and minimize harms.
To that end, we will be proposing a new regulation to establish product standards for electronic nicotine delivery systems or ENDS. The proposed standard will, among other things, address the levels of toxicants and impurities found in nicotine, propylene glycol, and vegetable glycerin e-liquid, as these toxicants and impurities can cause death or other adverse health effects."
