WASHINGTON (Dow Jones)--A U.S. judge said the U.S. Food and Drug Administration doesn't have authority to regulate electronic cigarettes, dealing a blow to the agency's efforts to regulate tobacco products as drugs or devices.
In a 32-page opinion, U.S. District Judge Richard J. Leon sided with electronic-cigarette makers Smoking Everywhere Inc. and NJoy in finding that the FDA has no authority to regulate the products and can't stop them from entering the country.

So There! ::: Judge:FDA Has No Authority Over Electronic Cigarettes / WSJ
I love the battle brewing all over the place over the e-cigarettes. It really puts to test the lie that the gov doesn't want people to smoke... they're more addicted to the tax revenues than folks are to nicotine. I hope everybody starts smoking these things. lol.
