The Food and Drug Administration is pressing ahead on regulating tobacco products, but a long-simmering battle has erupted over the future of e-cigarettes.
Anti-tobacco groups say it’s time for vaping companies to submit information about their products to the FDA, while e-cigarette manufacturers say such a demand is burdensome, unnecessary, and would create a black market of dangerous products. Meanwhile, tobacco companies are hoping to cash in by creating their own inhalant alternatives that would heat, rather than burn, nicotine.
