OVERVIEW
In the United States, electronic cigarettes, vaporizers, e-juice, and general vape products are gaining popularity because of their advertised health advantages over traditional smoking products. The vaporizer (vape) industry is creating a new gold-rush. The E-cigarette industry is expected to hit $10 billion in total sales in 2017 and $47 billion by 2025. This new market is moving quickly, causing the Federal government and state legislatures to write new laws.
The growth of this new market is creating many new opportunities for entrepreneurs, but not without challenging legal hurdles. The growth of this new industry has initiated lawsuits over matters such as false advertising, trademark infringement, and numerous contract disputes.
