Instead, we are now faced with the "deeming regulations," a disastrous proposal under which most of the existing e-cigarette market may be destroyed and the market essentially handed over to Big Tobacco, which are the only companies large enough to successfully complete the new product applications which will be required for every single e-cigarette product on the market.

One of my first assignments at the Office on Smoking and Health at CDC was to evaluate the evidence regarding the relationship between changes in tar yield of cigarettes and the risk of lung cancer. I examined the literature regarding both the introduction of the filter and other design changes that subsequently led to very low tar yields. My conclusion was that the filter itself produced a massive decline in tar yields, so great that even with smoker compensation, the lung cancer risk declined. However, further declines in tar yields were apparently not sufficient to overcome compensation, and lung cancer risks did not decline any further. Thus, my conclusion was that the filter produced small but measurable declines in lung cancer risk, but low-tar cigarettes within the filtered cigarette category conveyed no decrease in lung cancer risk.

In an published last week in the Los Angeles Times, CDC director Dr. Thomas Frieden was quoted as stating:
