Smokers turn to e-cigarettes as an alternative way to still get a buzz, but that may be under fire after FDA regulations went into effect this summer.
Since the FDA started regulating e-cigarettes, retailers and consumers alike have been affected negatively.
The prices of items have gone-up, the selection of juices has dropped, and people new to vaping are left in the dark.

This will take effect in August of 2018, and the deadline for manufacturers to declare that they will undergo this process is at the end of this month.
