No doubt, e-cigarettes are a fast-growing business. But like traditional tobacco products, they fall under FDA regulation and recently, the FDA has exercised that regulatory authority. These FDA regulations include overseeing the advertising and marketing of Electronic Nicotine Delivery Systems (ENDS), and this impacts radio and TV broadcasters. Womble Carlyle Telecom attorney Gregg Skall addresses these issues in a new column at All Access.
