In my opinion, the FDA does not want to ban them. It is no big secret that the FDA receives revenues from the taxation of the tobacco and pharmacological industry. They are using this action to gain jurisdiction over the product so that it can be regulated as a tobacco product. By banning the ecig the product will be forced to go through testing as well as an application process that will instantly classify the ecig as a medical device and the liquid used in the electronic cigarette will become a controlled substance. This will allow them to tax the electronic cigarette and receive the revenue from the product. It is not about safety as much as it is about money. Well, this is a loaded question.

Sure, we need more studies on the long-term safety of these things, but cigarettes are *known* to kill people. This is an example of bureaucracy gone mad and intentionally hurting the people it's supposed to help. You’re right, it’s absolutely insane.
