Some late breaking news today. More info later, but right now, this:

A federal judge on Thursday ordered the Food and Drug Administration to stop blocking the importation of electronic cigarettes from China and indicated that the devices should be regulated as tobacco products rather than drug or medical devices.

    I think Judge Leon made a very fair and responsible decision. He focused on the law and the authority granted the FDA and rightfully decided that they don’t have authority over e-cigarettes since they don’t contain tobacco, which is what the FDA DOES have regulation over. I’m not against regulation, I just think any regulation should be fair and not abusive.
