E-cigarettes: FDA ‘should be open-minded about regulation’
From: Medical News Today
International experts in tobacco control are urging United States regulators to keep an open mind about regulating the use of e-cigarettes and other vaporized nicotine products and not just think about them as a gateway to tobacco use.
In a paper published in the journal Addiction, the experts propose a framework for evaluating the public health impact of e-cigarettes and other vaporized nicotine products (VPNs), and they bring together much of the evidence available on these products.
The paper follows an announcement by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) that the agency is proposing to extend its tobacco authority to cover “additional products that meet the legal definition of a tobacco product, such as e-cigarettes.”
