This R&D provides resources on the regulation of e-cigarettes. Electronic cigarettes, known as e-cigarettes, are battery powered devices that simulate smoking, but give off vapor instead of cigarette smoke. Users get the same nicotine high from using an e-cigarette that they would from smoking a regular cigarette. Proponents argue that they are less harmful than cigarettes and help people quit smoking, but opponents say that they need to be regulated by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and are a vehicle for making smoking behaviors look appealing to non-smokers (especially minors). The FDA has recently proposed several rules for e-cigarettes, including age and sales restrictions.
