Q

-The Bottom Line

A

-Most e-smokers still use conventional tobacco and remain at risk for disease

-Youth e smokers may become more addicted and lured into using conventional cigarettes

-E-cigarettes must be proven to be safe just like any other new product which FDA has not done

-The US food and drug administration recently finalized a rule that extends its regulatory authority to all tobacco products including e cigarettes, cigars and chewing tobacco and pipe tobacco as part of its goal to improve public health.

-The bottom line, the rule will help prevent young people from starting to use these products, help consumers better understand the risk of using these products, prohibit false and misleading products claiming to prevent new tobacco products from being marketed unless a manufacturer demonstrates that the product meets the relevant public health standard
