>>A monumental set of decisions is expected Thursday from the Food and Drug Administration that could reshape the tobacco industry for years to come by limiting, or altogether blocking, the sale of millions of e-cigarette products.
Though the FDA has long regulated the marketing and sale of traditional tobacco products like cigarettes, the agency had long not required the same scrutiny of vapes, allowing a market to flourish.<<
It's a testament to the tobacco lobby that they have been able to sneak vapes in as a safer alternative to smoking. It's free basing nicotine with candy flavors. It's like they were designed for kids. Highly addictive, flavored, dangerous from a health perspective and up to this point, totally unregulated. I guess we shall see what happens today.
