A battle has been going on between electronic cigarette makers and regulators to decide the fate of this battery operated device. Regulators are adamant on regulating it under stricter regulations and everyone is waiting for the federal level decision. But in between makers and regulators, the state governments are fighting over the implementation of regulations.

I have read that four states- Utah, North Dakota, Arkansas and New Jersey, plus the District have already sided with the American Lung Association and included the electronic cigarette in indoor smoking bans while California, Connecticut and Massachusetts are considering it. Right from New York and Colorado to Tennessee and Wyoming, nine more states have almost categorized electronic cigarette as a tobacco product. Even few countries have also considered the online ban of electronic cigarette.  

What is visible from these facts that state level battle is going on and every state is keen on imposing regulations as per their opinion. Few states are fighting over kids smoking but as far as my knowledge is concerned, there are many best electronic cigarette brands which have prohibited the sale of its products to minors. Though, everyone is waiting for FDA decision but somewhere the fate has already been decided state governments.

Electronic cigarette has been reviewed by customers as an alternative to tobacco cigarette and smokers are widely embracing it recognizing best e cigarette features and considering e cigarette reviews. It provides so many products such as disposable e cigarette, starter kits, accessories and such others which have been highly appreciated by smokers who find it different from tobacco cigarette. But regulators are ardent on regulating it without considering its features. 

But still there is a hope that the FDA verdict on electronic cigarette categorization would do something better and help solving the state level disputes.
