mCig Inc. Says Its Products Will Be Excluded from FDA Regulation

Tuesday, 29 April 2014 09:05 AM

Topic:

Bellevue, Wash. based e-cigarette maker mCig Inc.  (OTCQB: MCIG) issued an important update relating to the much anticipated Food & Drug Administration ("FDA") regulatory proposals for the electronic cigarette (eCig) industry.

This regulatory proposal has been anticipated by industry participants for the last two years and comes at an important juncture in history as electronic cigarettes continue to gain acceptance and adoption by traditional smokers.

Overall, mCig said it is of the opinion that the proposal as currently published came in on the lighter side of what some industry observers had speculated and that on the margin, these proposals are well balanced and highly accommodative of future growth in the industry.

Specifically, the FDA elected to avoid regulating the following key areas of dispute:

- Online Sales of eCigs and eCig related Products

- Non-Nicotine Products

- Electronic Cigarette and Tobacco Related Accessories

- Regulating Nicotine-Free Flavors in eCigs

mCigs to be Excluded

According to eCig, the proposed rules (as currently published) exclude mCig and VitaCig Products from mandatory regulation

On Apr. 28, MCIG’s share price closed at 55 cents, down 3cents from the share price of 58cents the previous day, on volume of 1.3-million shares.
