WASHINGTON, D.C. — Another federal agency will put electronic cigarettes under its regulatory microscope.
The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) said on Monday it plans to study the sales and marketing of e-cigarettes in the United States. To conduct the study, the agency would issue information requests to e-cigarette marketers and would use the information as a basis for a report on the sales, marketing activities and expenditures in this new and complex industry.
