Hint: The solution isn't too difficult. Pennsylvania corporations are enjoying $2.4 billion in annual tax breaks. Closing a fraction of those loopholes would fully fund the Philadelphia school system.

The Rest of the Story

In 10 days, I didn’t get any of my money back! They continue using their e-cigarette to this day.

What the study did show was subclinical evidence of impaired lung function, meaning that the observed (measurable) lung function was unchanged, but that there was evidence of physiologic effects consistent with some bronchial inflammation. What is not known is whether this acute bronchial inflammation has any significance in the long-term. The presence of bronchial inflammation may be a result of propylene glycol having a respiratory irritant effect. But this does not necessarily mean that long-term exposure would lead to any adverse effect on lung function. More research is necessary to clarify that point.

While it is theoretically possible that an electronic cigarette company could some day get a full reduced risk claim approved, the regulatory burden is extreme. Not only would the company have to show that the product is safer than smoking, but the company would also have to demonstrate that the product will not deter smokers from quitting and will not introduce youth to the use of nicotine. The studies required would be substantial. For most companies, the costs would be prohibitive. It would take many years before any company could even have a reasonable chance of getting such an application approved and by then it will be too late for the market to continue to expand.

According to the deeming regulations, electronic cigarettes cannot inform consumers that the electronic cigarette "presents a lower risk of tobacco-related disease or is less harmful than one or more other commercially marketed tobacco products" (which includes cigarettes). In other words, the marketing of electronic cigarettes will need to be based on the false pretense that e-cigarettes are not intended as a safer alternative to smoking.

Jacob Sullum provides an of the literature on this topic, pointing out that there is very strong data to demonstrate that the flavors are what attract many smokers to try to quit using electronic cigarettes. You have to read his whole column, but to summarize:
