Yes, this is satire. But it makes the point that the very same arguments that the lawmakers are using to implicate electronic cigarettes in targeting youth could be made to implicate nicotine replacement products such as nicotine gum and lozenges.

As a statistician, I can not for sure say that the rise in smokers is a direct result of the electronic cigarette ban. However, it does make me think of why there is a sudden rise of smoking in the last four years. Smoking being “cool” has been beaten to death in grade school. Most kids now know smoking kills and is not something they want to explore even. Furthermore, it’s not like kids can go out and buy a pack of cigarettes with ease at the convenient store either. Blaming the kids and young smokers just does not make sense anymore. Smokers who want to smoke know the risks and know the diseases associated with smoking. They either do not care or rather find that given their age it is too late for them. Why not instead target this demographic of current older smokers than the younger crowd. I understand this is a new tactic, but the old one is obviously not working.

Instead of this insane regulatory approach, the FDA should scrap the requirement for product applications and should simply promulgate basic safety standards that ensure minimum, uniform requirements for product safety. If the agency allows for a 12-month grace period, we could expect to see these requirements actually take effect within two years.

At the Rest of the Story, I don't have that luxury. I make the call based on what I see as the most credible scientific evidence available. And at the current time, I believe that for many smokers, electronic cigarettes are a reasonable option for smoking cessation or dramatic smoking reduction. These benefits of electronic cigarettes are demonstrable and there is no evidence that they are being undermined by these products serving as a gateway to tobacco cigarette addiction. In fact, all the evidence at the current time points to a strong relationship between e-cigarette use and decreased overall use of tobacco products, not the other way around.
