BendiNewsTest: FDA Proposes New E-Cigarette Regulations That Ban Sales to Minors

Hi,

This page is currently being developed. This page checks Sustainability Blogs and RSS News Feeds for new content and posts it to here each day. The aim is to share information related to sustainability which is relevant to people living in Central Victoria while also providing a channel for international sustainability information. I am just discovering the Internets information sharing potential. I'd like to help other not so tech savvy people learn how to find interesting and new Sustainability info. Please tell me your favorite blogs or news sources and I will add them to the list.

Thanks

FDA Proposes New E-Cigarette Regulations That Ban Sales to Minors

Last week the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) released a 241-page proposal that would for the first time impose federal regulations on the use of battery-powered electronic cigarettes — a booming industry that is seen by many as a healthy alternative to conventional cigarettes because vapor is used instead of smoke, which is linked to lung cancer. The rules also cover currently unregulated tobacco products such as cigars, pipe tobacco and hookahs. The regulations would ban sales to minors under 18, and they require producers of cigars and e-cigarettes to register with the FDA and submit ingredients, manufacturing processes and scientific data to the agency.
