Vapings wild west days are nearly over.
Soon, e-cigarettes will be illegal for minors to buy, and ingredients will have to pass FDA approval.
The new rules take effect in August, and also apply to hookah and cigars.
Most brands and flavors do include nicotine, though.
Nicotine isharmful to fetuses and to children and teens, so vaping isnt completely safe.
The new regulations are a logical extension of the Food and Drug Administrations authority over cigarettes and chewing tobacco.
Until recently, other nicotine-containing products werent included in the definition of tobacco products.
Todays historic rule serves as the foundation for future FDA regulations.
