We Need More Regulation On E-Cigarettes Use

We Need More Regulation On E-Cigarettes Use.
The unrealized fettle hazards of e-cigarettes remain unclear, and more regulation on their use is needed, say two groups representing cancer researchers and specialists. The American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) and the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) together issued a enumerate of recommendations on Thursday aimed at bringing e-cigarette regulations more in track with those of established cigarettes. In a news release, the two groups apiculate out that e-cigarettes, which are not smoked but deliver nicotine in a aerosolized form, are not yet regulated by the US Food and Drug Administration.

They called on the FDA to control all types of e-cigarette products that also touch the standard definition of tobacco products. Those that do not meet that standard should be regulated by whichever means the FDA feels appropriate, the cancer groups added. Among other recommendations is a designate for e-cigarette manufacturers to supply the FDA with a full and detailed list of their products' ingredients; a call for threat labels on all e-cigarette packaging and ads to advise consumers about the perils of nicotine addiction; and a disallow on all marketing and selling of e-cigarettes to minors.
