Federal Judge: FDA Has No Authority Over Electronic Cigarettes

By Jared A. Favole, Of DOW JONES NEWSWIRES

WASHINGTON -(Dow Jones)- A U.S. judge said the U.S. Food and Drug Administration doesn't have authority to regulate electronic cigarettes, dealing a blow to the agency's efforts to regulate tobacco products as drugs or devices.

In a 32-page opinion, U.S. District Judge Richard J. Leon sided with electronic cigarette maker Smoking Everywhere Inc. in finding that the FDA has no authority to regulate the products and can't stop them from entering the country.

"This case appears to be yet another example of FDA's aggressive efforts to regulate recreational tobacco products as drugs or devices," Leon said in his ruling. He added the FDA's "tenacious drive to maximize its regulatory power has resulted in its advocacy of an interpretation of the relevant law that I find, at first blush, to be unreasonable and unacceptable."

The FDA has seized shipments of electronic cigarettes, which look and taste like cigarettes but don't contain tar. Smoking Everywhere, one of the largest makers of electronic cigarettes, had challenged the FDA's authority over the products.


Mod Auction......National Vapers Club will be sponsoring a mod auction/vapeathon to raise money for vaping research. Go to www.lovevaping.com for more information.

Vapersplace encourages all of our UK vapers to please sign the UK regulation of electronic cigarettes petition.
