• I also lied to you when I told you that my own study demonstrated that electronic cigarettes are "a new route to smoking addiction for adolescents." The study was a cross-sectional one, so I could not draw that conclusion. And I admitted it in the article itself. But that's not what I told you.
If there were any evidence that electronic cigarettes inhibit, rather than enhance smoking cessation, I too would join Dr. Glantz's camp and oppose electronic cigarettes. But such evidence does not exist. Not a shred of it so far. Not a single study suggests that electronic cigarette use results in lower quit rates than what would occur in the absence of electronic cigarette use among smokers who try these products.
As I point out in the piece, the CDC is partly responsible for the backlash against e-cigarettes because it publicly concluded that e-cigarettes are a gateway to smoking:
