Judge Gives E-Cigarette Makers 10 Months to Seek FDA Review

I think they should remain available to adults and for minors by Rx (if they got hooked on tobacco). But I certainly would like to see this better understood and regulated.

I don’t think they should be outright banned like SF is doing, but some regulation and understanding (sci studies) would be good.

Surely tobacco should only be available by prescription, by the same argument?

I mean, what argument is there for e-cigarettes to be banned or heavily regulated when anyone can go buy cigarettes?

If they ban both, fine. If they just go after e-cigarettes, this is the work of the tobacco lobby, end of.

It's the puritans, not big tobacco. Big tobacco loves ecigs, they're its future.

Right, but if the can create a regulatory environment that makes it impossible for anyone but juggernauts to compete, then they’re securing that future.

I suppose the question is where the moral outrage originates - with the puritans, or did someone plant that idea in their minds by hijacking the agenda?
