FDA puts e-cig makers on notice: Fix 'epidemic' teen use or products may be pulled from market
Top Comments

If the products are getting into the hands of teenagers, it's the fault of retailers and irresponsible adults, just as with alcohol. Why should the manufacturers of these products be held to a different standard?

Underage drinking has been going on since they passed laws limiting the age where you were allowed to partake. I've never seen anyone suggest that they should ban alcohol because of this. If anything the crack down was on the bars and stores that sell alcohol.

And then the teens can go back to smoking actual cigarettes.

I was wondering if they could do that for cigarettes?

Imagine if a government agency said something like that to gun manufacturers. "Fix the illegal use of your products or have you license to manufacture pulled." That'd turn into a shit-show real fast.

Translation: These things have cut too far into the profits of the tobacco companies.

The big tobacco companies already own all of the major brands anyway.

This is a great way to get people back to smoking cigarettes. Sure, you may not like it, but e-cigs (especially the tasty ones), are the driving factor behind the recent reduction in the cigarette smoking rate
