Friday the FDA sent warning letters to five electronic cigarette makers citing various violations of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FDCA). These violations stem from unsubstantiated health claims made by these companies in their marketing and poor manufacturing practices.

Let me say first however, none of the brands featured on this site were among them and only one of them, Gamucci, has ever been listed in our brand index.

None of this is really that big of a surprise. The FDA has been saying all along they will go after ecig makers who make health claims or claim the Ecig is a great way to stop smoking before they receive FDA approval as a smoking cessation product. While many ecig users, aka Vapers, are very steadfast in their assertions that electronic cigarettes are the greatest way to stop using tobacco ever invented, some manufacturers and distributors don't grasp that legally they just can't say that in their marketing without formal studies and scientific proof.
