Right now, there are no regulations on the e-cigarette industry because organizations such as the Food and Drug Administration, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention still know very little about the long-term effects of e-cigarette use — also known as vaping.
In 2009, President Barack Obama signed the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act. Under the act, the FDA is permitted to regulate cigarettes, cigarette tobacco, roll-your-own-tobacco and smokeless tobacco.
