You cannot hide from the FDA

From FDA: Electronic cigarettes contain toxic chemicals via doubleplusundead:

Federal health officials said today they have found cancer-causing ingredients in electronic cigarettes, despite manufacturers’ claims the products are safer than tobacco cigarettes.

The Food and Drug Administration said testing of products from two leading electronic cigarette makers turned up several toxic chemicals, including a key ingredient in antifreeze. FDA scientists said they tested 19 varieties of cigarettes, many of which contained fruit and candy flavors.

Figured this was coming. A lot sooner than I thought, but there it is. Governments all over the country are seeing cigarette tax revenues drop due to people quitting tobacco. The more popular e-cigs get, the more people will move away from tobacco (and the taxes).

On the bright side, taxing the shit out of e-cigs might keep politicians away from the cheeseburgers and booze for a while longer.
