Democrats Press For E-Cigarette Regulations

A group of senators has ramped up concerns about the safety of electronic cigarettes.

An online blog reports that the Democrats, who previously focused on the children’s health concerns related to e-cigarette flavorings, are now focusing on new legislation that seeks to target the packaging containing the liquid that fuels e-cigarettes.

The Food and Drug Administration in April proposed regulations, as previously reported, and are seeking comments on extending its authority to cover e-cigarettes, but the rule proposal does not address poisonings from liquid nicotine — which are particularly dangerous for children.

This week, the Connecticut Democratic Rep. Rosa DeLauro had wrote to the FDA urging the agency to finalize e-cigarette regulations.

Earlier this year, Roll Call’s Hannah Hess wrote about pressure from Sen. Richard J. Durbin and others to ban vaping in Senate Buildings.

Unfortunately for the greedy people out there who want these regulations to go through just because of the fact that they think they are “so terrible” sorry for you. If and when these regulations do go through they will be after many years of thorough testing and examinations and they definitely shouldn’t be based on the thoughts and opinions of others with out the stated scientific facts.
