E-cigarette dates back to the early 1960s when a man named Herbert A. Gilbert invented a smokeless, non-tobacco cigarette. His invention used a heated liquid to produce a flavored vapor, but the device never went into production. In 2003, a Chinese pharmacist Hon Lik created the first commercially successful electronic cigarette. The electronic cigarette market has since grown rapidly with thousands of different models and designs. As technology improved devices have become more powerful and efficient and e-liquids have become more varied in flavors and nicotine strength.

The use of e-cigarettes has grown rapidly in recent years, especially among young people. Many people use e-cigarettes as a way to quit smoking and as a less harmful alternative to traditional cigarettes. The aerosol produced by e-cigarettes can contain a variety of harmful substances like nicotine, heavy metals, and ultrafine particle that can be inhaled deep into the lungs.

Regulations for e-cigarettes vary by country and region. In some places, the e-cigarette is treated like traditional cigarettes and is subject to the same regulations and restrictions. In other places, the e-cigarette is more lightly regulated or not regulated at all. In the US, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has the authority to regulate e-cigarettes and other tobacco products.

In 2016, FDA issues a final rule extending its authority to cover e-cigarettes, along with other tobacco products such as cigars and hookah tobacco. The rule included regulations on the sale and marketing of e-cigarettes, including restrictions on sales to minors and requirements for warning labels and health warnings. Overall, many regulations on e-cigarettes focus on protecting youth and non-smokers from exposure to nicotine and the potential harms of e-cigarettes and vaping, as well as ensuring that e-cigarette products are safety and quality standards.
