And that, more than anything else, is what scares me about the FDA's approach to the regulation of cigarettes and electronic cigarettes.

Instead, the law created a huge bureaucracy full of red tape and sluggish approval processes such that there are still close to 3500 substantial equivalence applications stacked up in a pile somewhere, and the FDA is so overburdened that it cannot even issue electronic cigarette regulations in a reasonable amount of time.

Later in the article, the FDA reiterates its position: "while the inhaled compounds associated with e-cigarettes may be fewer and less toxic than those from traditional cigarettes, data to establish whether e-cigarette use as a whole is less harmful to the individual user than traditional cigarettes are not conclusive."
