I think Judge Leon made a very fair and responsible decision. He focused on the law and the authority granted the FDA and rightfully decided that they don’t have authority over e-cigarettes since they don’t contain tobacco, which is what the FDA DOES have regulation over. I’m not against regulation, I just think any regulation should be fair and not abusive.
