The Rest of the Story

"The government has an obligation to carefully scrutinize any new consumer product that is presented as an alternative to smoking. But government agencies and public health officials have no business discouraging or disparaging e-cigarettes in the absence of any data that they are causing harm. This is especially the case when these products have so much potential to curb cigarette smoking, the public health scourge that still claims half a million lives a year."

Currently under consideration in several states, is legislation that would tax electronic cigarettes as traditional tobacco cigarettes, which would be much costlier for consumers. For example, North Carolina currently taxes consumers 45 cents per pack, or 12.8% of the cost of traditional cigarettes and other tobacco products like snuff, cigars and chewing tobacco. David Powers, VP of Government Relations for R.J. Reynolds a large backer of the proposed legislation state’s “many smokers are switching from tobacco cigarettes to e-cigarettes, adding “vapor devices carry less health risk because no tobacco smoke is produced.” “We don’t want to create disincentives for smokers to try it.”

One lesson that has become apparent in the past few months is that for many anti-smoking advocates and groups, it doesn't matter whether you quit, the only thing that is important is how you quit. According to the thinking of these groups, there is a right way to quit and a wrong way to quit. Forget about the fact that you've just quit smoking and possibly saved your life. If you quit the wrong way, you are to be scorned.

According to a Business Standard entitled "Third-Hand Smoke Just as Lethal as First-Hand Smoke": "A scientist at the University of California, Riverside suggests that second-hand smoke and third-hand smoke are just as deadly as first-hand smoke. While first-hand smoke refers to the smoke inhaled by a smoker and second-hand smoke to the exhaled smoke and other substances emanating from the burning cigarette that can get inhaled by others, third-hand smoke is the second-hand smoke that gets left on the surfaces of objects, ages over time and becomes progressively more toxic."

Curiously, however, this knowledge doesn't stop Glantz from using these studies to draw a conclusion about the efficacy of e-cigarettes as smoking cessation aids in his review article. Moreover, his review article omits any mention of the fact that these 5 studies "did not measure whether people were using e-cigarettes as a smoking cessation aid" and that these studies "did not directly test the efficacy of e-cigarettes as smoking cessation aids."
