Connecticut e-cigarette sellers say they breathed a sigh of relief when they learned of some of the newly proposed FDA regulations for the multi-million-dollar business that has gone mostly unregulated so far, but feared future proposals could damage their businesses.
They welcomed the rule that would prohibit them from selling electronic cigarettes to underage youngsters because they already voluntarily prohibit sales to anyone younger than 18 at their stores.
Nick Ricciardi, owner of Smooth Vaporz in Waterbury and Thomaston, said he’s never sold to minors, although that wouldn’t be against the law right now.
