Electronic cigarettes are not currently approved by the FDA. Last year the FDA announced that they had concerns as the the safety of electronic cigarettes claiming that they contained toxic chemicals. Recently the American Medical Association recommended that the FDA ought to regulate electronic cigarettes in the same way as they would other controlled substances, so far the FDA has not responded to this recommendation. Bear in mind the power of the tobacco and pharmaceutical industries here and their interests. Making a product like this widespread would constitute a substantial loss in tobacco and nicotine replacement therapy revenues. So far clinical trials have not been conducted as to the safety of electronic cigarettes but this is a moot point considering how harmful the product they seek to replace is (regular cigarettes). In fact Cancer Research UK has come out and stated that whatever the risks, they are nowhere near the risks associated with tobacco smoking. Do your research if you are in the market for an e-cig, you'll have far more trouble finding the right product for you than you will have troubles with your health. Read the customer reviews online and see for yourselves just how many people have been able to quit smoking as a result of using electronic cigarettes.

Yes, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has regulatory authority over electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes). However, it is important to note that the FDA does not approve e-cigarettes as a smoking cessation tool or as a safer alternative to traditional cigarettes. The FDA has implemented regulations on the marketing and sale of e-cigarettes to protect public health, especially among youth.
