Virtually every electronic cigarette consists of nicotine, PG and/or VG, and flavorings, plus or minus a little water and perhaps citric acid. It is the flavor that makes the kanger. In most cases, even the "tobacco"-flavored electronic cigarettes contain flavorings.

It should be clear to readers that this study was poorly designed toinvestigate the efficacy of electronic cigarettes. The study systematicallysampled a group of quitline callers who were unsuccessful using electroniccigarettes. These people tried and failed using electronic cigarettes. How dowe know they failed? Because they wouldn’t have had to call the quitline ifthey weren’t still smoking. This is clearly a harder core group of smokers andit is no surprise that their cessation rates were lower after 6-months than thecomparison group. The study tells us nothing about the effectiveness ofelectronic cigarettes, other than that they do not work for everyone. In fact, this research is biased in favor of not finding aneffect of electronic cigarettes on smoking cessation.

Why would we want to suppress the provision of this information to the public? And what justification is there for a government-mandated suppression of the truth?

Can you imagine if the tobacco companies used the same logic as Dr. Glantz? They would, according to his scientific reasoning, be perfectly honest in communicating to the public statements like this:
