Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., is one of the most vehement advocates of restricting the sale of electronic cigarettes. He says the vapor-producing devices, which are booming in popularity, have become "gateway nicotine-delivery devices" for children and he advocates banning flavor options and online sales.
E-cigarettes are hailed by the companies that produce them and former tobacco cigarette smokers who use them as potential life-savers. U.S sales are expected to double this year to $1.7 billion, according to a Wells Fargo Securities estimate published in August. Year-to-date retail sales were estimated at around $700 million and online sales were pegged at $500-625 million.
