Electric Cigarettes and FDA Finally Working Together

Article Category: Society

Author Name: Bob Thomas

There invariably is a slightly uncertain relationship between companies selling e cigarettes and the FDA. There have been attempts to regulate these products since their introduction a couple of years ago but the issues of jurisdiction and classification have been unclear until recently.

The general impression that was developed by its marketing was that electronic cigarettes were completely harmless and that smoking would now be risk free. A few even claimed that they might be employed to aid for those who wanted to quit smoking but the food and drug administration did not uphold these claims or endorse their used as safe nicotine alternatives.

In 2009 a public warning was issued after testing 19 different e cigarette cartridges from two different brands and thinking about the viewpoints of interest groups. The tests revealed that smoke from e cigarettes contained a carcinogen and irritants found in tobacco completely harmless and one of the cartridges even contained the anti-freeze ethylene glycol. The viewpoint from certain groups was that the benign marketing and fruit flavor would attract children.

Manufacturing standards where also questioned because cartridges emitted inconsistent levels of nicotine although they where marked as having various strengths and those that where marked as being nicotine free actually contained nicotine.

In 2010 warnings where also issued to five different suppliers that they would become dependent on regulation. They maybe regulated by the FDA right at that moment because they advertised their products as aids for stopping smoking which is a medical claim. One company was also warned about advertising their products as versions Cialis which is employed for erection problems and the weight loss aid Rimonabant.

Originally the FDA did not have jurisdiction over tobacco products and they regarded e cigarettes as drug delivery devices which where not regulated. Under this classification they prevented the import of products from several manufacturers. One of these companies fought these restrictions in a court room as they didn't believe that it was justified to consider the product as drug or delivery device if no therapeutic claims where made.

The courts agreed with them and the restrictions where lifted but by that time the new Tobacco Control Act had been enacted which amended the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act (FDCA). The FDA now had jurisdiction over tobacco products and all products derived from tobacco and allowed them to control certain aspects that they had expressed concerns about such as the listing of products and ingredients and the average of manufacturing. Marketing would also be subject to control, as an example electronic cigarettes couldn't be in a position to be advertised alongside any other products which where subject to regulation like cosmetics or drugs.

Before products could be released onto the market they would also be dependent on pre market review unless they had already been sold before February 2007 and where considered "grandfathered." Product that where advertised as having therapeutic benefit would still be subject to regulation as drug shipping devices and it is still being considered as to what regulation therapeutic claims should be subject to. Now that issues concerning e cigarettes and the FDA are finally on a firm footing it can only be good for the consumer.
