I will stipulate that it’s better than inhaling smoke, but it is a drug delivery device that is presently used for delivering the addictive drug nicotine, but which has all sorts of other uses, and unintended consequences. These things should be FDA regulated and subject to the same controls as other medical devices. That will not reduce their effectiveness as an alternate way of delivering nicotine.
I don't see in Art. 1 Section 8 where congress is authorized to make laws concerning medical devices.
That police power, like most police powers, belong to the States.
Are you sure you are at the right site? This is a conservative site for a constitutional, limited government.
The Nanny State sites are elsewhere.

12 ounce brown bottles are drug delivery devices too. I don’t mind Vapor users. There is a shop I visit frequently where EVERYONE is on the things. The shop doesn’t stink like smoke. AND production is up because the guys don’t take smoke breaks all the time. It’s a heck of a lot better than the spit cups from tobacco chewers that pollute some of the shops I work with. Gross.
“These things should be FDA regulated and subject to the same controls as other medical devices.”
Problem is once the FDA regulates these e cigs, and turns them into “Medical devices” smokers will need to go to an expensive doctor, have it noted on their permanent obamacare record that they smoke, and have one prescribed to them, and then insurance will charge 1200 bucks an e cig. Smokers will not quit using e cigs as it will be cheaper just to smoke and not have to pay for a doctor visit.
I wouldn't bet on that. The FedMob makes a lot of things less effective than they should be. It would definitely increase the cost ridiculously. To see what a bangup job the FDA does just count the number of TV ads you see for class action law suits against FDA-approved drugs.
