Perhaps the link was too much work? Or .......... "Who Cares"?
WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. government wants to ban sales of electronic cigarettes to minors and require approval for new products and health warning labels under regulations being proposed by the federal Food and Drug Administration.
While the proposal being issued Thursday won’t immediately mean changes for the popular
devices, the move is aimed at eventually taming the fast-growing e-cigarette industry.
The industry started on the Internet and at shopping-mall kiosks and has rocketed from thousands of users in 2006 to several million worldwide who can choose from more than 200 brands. Sales are estimated to have reached nearly $2 billion in 2013.
tobacco company executives have noted that they are eating into traditional cigarette sales, and their companies have jumped into the business.
