Nine retailers and one manufacturer of e-cigarettes that appear to have similar smart technology to that found in phones, for example, are now being warned by the US Food and Drug Administration, FDA.
The products mentioned in the warning letters are marketed as having a variety of features that may appeal to children, such as the ability to play games, connect to a smartphone, receive text or call notifications, and play music.
The designs of the products are likely to attract children and adolescents because they hide the products' nature as tobacco products from parents, teachers or other adults, according to the FDA.
