AMA MEETING: E-CIGARETTES NEED FDA REGULATION, LIMITS ON SALES

Subtitle:  The AMA recommends that electronic cigarettes be classified as drug delivery devices.

Testing and safety information on electronic cigarettes is
limited, the American Medical Association said, and the devices
should be restricted.

The AMA House of Delegates adopted policy at the organization's
Annual Meeting in June recommending that e-cigarettes be
classified as drug delivery devices that are subject to
regulation by the Food and Drug Administration. In addition,
state legislatures should prohibit the sale of e-cigarettes and
all other nicotine devices that are not FDA-approved, and the
products should be covered by smoke-free laws, the policy says.

"I want them subject to [FDA] regulations so people know exactly
what they're inhaling," said Atlanta internist Sandra Fryhofer,
MD, a member of the AMA Council on Science and Public Health.
