What's more, vaping products will be subject to the same regulations in terms of packaging and production. Manufacturers will have to register with the FDA and provide a list of products to the agency. Companies will also be required to disclose ingredients, including any harmful or potentially harmful substances, and they'll have to get approval before putting new tobacco products on the market. In terms of packaging and advertising, e-cigarette and vaping products must also feature a health warning label -- just like the brands selling regular cigarettes.

"This final rule is a foundational step that enables the FDA to regulate products young people were using at alarming rates, like e-cigarettes, cigars and hookah tobacco, that had gone largely unregulated," Mitch Zeller, who leads the FDA's Center for Tobacco Products, said in a press release.

The US isn't the only country clamping down on how e-cigarettes are regulated. This week, an EU court upheld new regulations that banned advertising of the newfangled tobacco products. What's more, the EU's Tobacco Products Directive will oversee e-cigarettes for its members from now on.
