If you are using electronic cigarettes to slow down or quit smoking be aware that the FDA is halting importation until there are studies regarding safety and effectiveness.
"FDA hazy on e-cigarettes' safety"
By Danielle DellortoCNN Medical Producer
March 13, 2009
"Makers of e-cigs tout their product as the first healthy cigarette, free of harmful chemicals and tar typically found in tobacco products. The only ingredient: pure liquid nicotine. "Our product is comparable to the nicotine patch except people still get the oral fixation, which they love," explained Elicko Taieb, CEO of Smoking Everywhere, one of the largest distributors of electronic cigarettes.
But the U.S. Food and Drug Administration considers e-cigs an unapproved new drug because of a lack of scientific proof that they're safe or effective. The FDA is trying to halt importation of e-cigs, but isn't seizing products already being sold in the United States."
