The article does mention that a clinical trial of e-cigarettes found that these products were as effective as the nicotine patch, but it then dismisses this result, concluding instead that: "e-cigarettes are not associated with successful quitting in general population-based samples of smokers."

What the story demonstrates is that Dr. Glantz has a pre-determined set of conclusions about electronic cigarettes and the tobacco companies' role in inappropriately marketing these products to addict a new generation of kids. When presented with information, he jumps to an immediate interpretation and conclusion that supports his pre-determined schema. Instead of exercising critical judgment and objective evaluation of the evidence, he immediately twists the facts to support his pre-existing position. Dr. Glantz is just one example of a phenomenon that characterizes a number of researchers and tobacco control groups that are vehement opponents of electronic cigarettes for ideological, rather than valid scientific reasons.

Instead, what we need are FDA regulations that will prevent the marketing of electronic cigarettes to youth. An outright ban on e-cigarette advertising is neither sensible nor constitutional.

Specifically, the survey of 2,000 11-18 year-olds in 2014 found that:

"Only 1.8% of children are regular users; 90% of regular or occasional users are young people who are already smokers or ex-smokers; 91% of young people have not tried an electronic cigarette even once; and this is despite the fact that over 80% of young people are now aware of e-cigarettes (up from under 70% in 2013)."
