e-cigarette

New Jersey has moved to restrict the sale and use of electronic cigarettes, but to date, there is no comprehensive federal regulation of them. A top lawmaker said he wants the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to not only regulate e-cigarettes, but also to study their health impacts.

A new study from the Rutgers School of Public Health finds smokers who have recently quit are four times more likely than current smokers to use e-cigarettes daily.

Teens who use e-cigarettes are more likely than others to later smoke conventional cigarettes and other tobacco products, a study at 10 Los Angeles high schools suggests.

As the number of teenagers smoking electronic cigarettes increases, New Jersey is doing a number of things to combat the growing problem.

A group of nearly 50 independent small business owners have banded together in an effort to oppose the tax on electronic cigarettes proposed in Gov. Christie's budget.

As part of his Fiscal Year 2015 State Budget plan, Gov. Chris Christie proposes taxing electronic cigarettes at the same rate as conventional cigarettes - $2.70 per pack. One state legislator, who has already asked the federal government to study the health impacts of e-cigarettes, supports the governor's idea.
