Should the cigarette tax be raised?

Senator Dick Durbin stated that: "the use of e-cigarettes among our nation's kids is ... closely linked to the deadly use of cigarettes."

What is the new "evidence" that e-cigarettes are a gateway to smoking? According to the letter sent by these politicians to the FDA: "What’s even more troubling is that these products serve as a gateway to traditional tobacco products. A recent JAMA Pediatrics study found that middle and high-school students who used e-cigarettes were more likely to smoke traditional cigarettes and less likely to quit smoking."

The study finds that e-cigarette use is associated with smoking status. In addition, e-cigarette use is associated with heavier smoking and with fewer periods of smoking abstinence.

The Centers for Disease Control has asserted that electronic cigarette use among youth is a gateway to a lifetime of addiction to smoking. This assertion, which has been picked up by politicians and health groups throughout the country, is being used to justify extreme proposals, such as those to ban e-cigarette advertising and to ban all e-cigarette flavorings.
