Sometimes, reality isn't what it seems. And once in a rare while, it is exactly the opposite. That is the case in today's Rest of the Story.

In an published today in the Wall Street Journal, I highlight the fact that many legislators and health organizations have demonized electronic cigarettes, largely on the basis of the erroneous conclusion that there is scientific evidence demonstrating that these products are a gateway to cigarette smoking among youth. The piece points out that there actually is no such scientific evidence and in fact, it presents evidence to the contrary.

I cannot think of a regulatory provision that would be more favorable to combustible cigarettes than to ban any potential competitor products that are not made from tobacco and do not involve combustion from informing consumers that these products are safer alternatives to smoking. This is literally a huge gift to the combustible cigarette market and therefore, it is devastating to the public's health. It is going to increase disease and death. This is absolutely the opposite of what the FDA should be doing in these regulations.

What is so scary to these lung groups about the prospect of so many smokers quitting or cutting down substantially on their smoking? A cynic might say that it would cause these physicians to lose a huge number of patients. That these groups are trying to protect their own payment streams is as rational an explanation for their behavior than any science- or public health-based explanation I can ponder.
