After blasting electronic cigarettes, the author writes:

For example, one of the major problems in some of the previous survey studies of electronic cigarettes (the ones cited by Stan Glantz, for example) is that they fail to control for a major confounder: the level of a smoker's addiction to smoking and motivation to quit. Some of the studies that Glantz has cited to show that e-cigarettes are ineffective for smoking cessation compare users of e-cigarettes and non-users of e-cigarettes. In two of these studies, those who did not use e-cigarettes had higher quit rates.

One of the key examples in question is a on the Cato Institute site in which Jacob Grier makes a number of insightful comments that are supportive of electronic cigarettes.

Dr. Dutra states: "E-cigarettes are likely to be gateway devices for nicotine addiction among youth, opening up a whole new market for tobacco."

The article reports that: "Under the agreement with the DOJ, each of the companies must publish full-page ads in the Sunday editions of 35 newspapers and on the newspapers' websites, as well as air prime-time TV spots on CBS, ABC or NBC five times per week for a year. The companies also must publish the statements on their websites and affix them to a certain number of cigarette packs three times per year for two years."

In a move that sounds more like a headline in the than an act of a federal health protection agency, the FDA has that it is going to protect the public from the dangers of "defective" cigarettes.
