The federal government announced new rules for electronic cigarettes last week, but local vape shop owners say the new regulations will have little effect on their business. The rules, for the first time, require the electronic devices and their ingredients to be reviewed, according to a story from the Associated Press. Unlike paper-rolled cigarettes, which contain tobacco and a host of chemicals in a carcinogenic blend, e-cigarettes contain liquid nicotine heated with a battery-powered device that allows the smoker to inhale the nicotine in a vapor form.
New FDA regulations unlikely to affect local vape shops
