FDA to extend tobacco regulations to e-cigarettes, other products

49. The FDA doesn't regulate most things to the degree cigarettes are regulated

It certainly makes sense for the FDA to regulate e-cigarettes to some degree. For instance, the packaging of them along with the refills should have some form of child proofing.

Based on what we know and don't know, it does not make sense to regulate e-cigarettes in the same way cigarettes are regulated. While both are nicotine delivery devices, that's where the similarities end. It isn't smoking and it doesn't contain tobacco, which negates A, B, and C. It might make sense to limit their access by minors until more is known, but limiting their access by adults or even discouraging their use has no basis.
