Jan. 21, 2010 - PRLog -- (New York, NY) January 20, 2010 - An electronic cigarette is smokeless smoking. Giving a person the same feeling they have when smoking a typical cigarette, the electronic cigarette has two major benefits from the start. One, the cost is far less expensive than buying regular cigarettes and two; they are healthier than smoking a cigarette.

A recent ruling went in favour of two electronic cigarette companies, Smoking Elsewhere and Njoy, who sued the FDA. Ruling on three arguments the FDA was using to stop the import of electronic cigarettes, a U.S. District court judge, Judge Leon, ruled in favor of the electronic cigarette makers.

With the passage of the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act, the FDA has been given expanded jurisdiction over tobacco products. They argued that electronic cigarettes are a drug and as such, the import of these cigarettes should be stopped.

However, Judge Leon answered this argument by stating, "Because plaintiffs sell their electronic cigarette products for customary recreational use, those products (just like traditional cigarettes) are properly excluded from the meaning of drug or device under the FDCA."

The judge ordered the release of shipments recently seized by the FDA to be released. Under the seizure the FDA said the electronic cigarette machines were an "unapproved drug-delivery device". In addition, they are also prohibited from seizing any further shipments in the future.

Everyone who has ever tried to quit smoking knows how hard it is to kick this habit. The electronic cigarette imitates a regular cigarette, but is made of a cartridge, an atomizer and a battery. Smokers inhale on the cigarette, the nicotine is delivered and steam escapes from the other end of the electronic cigarette.

The smoker is satisfied; however they are not getting the smoke that is the most dangerous part of a cigarette. The electronic cigarette is becoming accepted in restaurants, bars and everywhere else that smokers are typically not allowed to light up.

Since the electronic cigarette does not contain tobacco, it is considered safer than cigarettes. The electronic cigarette starter kit has shown promise when it comes to allowing smokers to stop smoking cigarettes. With the recent ruling in favour of the electronic cigarette makers, smokers now have more of a chance to kick a habit that have been struggling with for years.
