E-cigarettes are about to become a regulated product. The Food and Drug Administration is set to propose a regulatory plan Thursday that will also put some restrictions on the sale and marketing of e-cigarettes to minors.

Though the FDA stopped short of banning advertising, it does propose to prohibit sales to minors, halt the distribution of free samples and require health warnings and ingredients labels.

Following a 75-day comment period, the FDA will finalize the rules.
