FDA issues "Deeming Regulations" covering additional tobacco products including electronic cigarettes and cigars

On April 24, 2014, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued its long-awaited proposed regulations (Deeming Regulations) to bring electronic cigarettes, cigars, pipe tobacco, water pipe (hookah) tobacco, dissolvables and nicotine gels (Newly Covered Products) under the agency’s tobacco regulatory authority.

The Deeming Regulations would subject Newly Covered Products to many of the same regulatory requirements currently only applicable to cigarettes, cigarette tobacco, roll-your-own tobacco and smokeless tobacco, or a subset of these items. These requirements include general controls (such as registration, product listing and ingredient listing), health warnings, sales and marketing restrictions, and premarket review.
