This bill amends the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act to authorize the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to regulate electronic cigarettes through regulation of e-liquids (solutions used in electronic cigarettes) and personal electronic vaporizers (products that convert e-liquids into inhalable vapor).

E-liquids and personal electronic vaporizers are excluded from the definition of tobacco products.

The bill sets forth requirements for the sale and manufacturing of e-liquids and personal electronic vaporizers including: (1) prohibiting sales to persons younger than 18, (2) establishing manufacturing standards, and (3) requiring certification of compliance with manufacturing standards.

The FDA may prohibit advertising of e-liquids and vaporizers to minors. The Office of E-Liquid and Personal Vaporizer Standards Compliance is created in the FDA's Center for Tobacco Products and Tobacco Harm Reduction.

State and local laws on e-liquids and personal electronic vaporizers are preempted by this bill.

The FDA shall provide Congress a comparative health risk assessment of tobacco products and other nicotine delivery alternatives and rank them based on morbidity and mortality risk as compared to smoking cigarettes.
