Skyrocketing teen use of e-cigarettes leads to regulations

Clip: 5/5/2016 | 7m 35s

E-cigarettes can no longer be sold to people under 18.

The Food and Drug Administration will begin regulating e-cigarettes and cigars the same way it regulates cigarettes and smokeless tobacco. About 2.5 million high school students or middle schoolers vaped at least once in the last month; now e-cigarettes can no longer be sold to people under 18. Hari Sreenivasan talks to Mitch Zeller of the FDA for more on the new policy.
