This is worth repeating: the nation's federal regulatory agency with jurisdiction over cigarettes is not sure that smoking - which kills more than 400,000 Americans each year - is any more dangerous than vaping, which involves no tobacco and no combustion and has not been shown to cause any harm.

If it was the anti-smoking groups' intention to remove these products from the market, then they should have made sure that the legislation removed these products from the market. But given that they did not do that, these groups cannot stand up today and pretend that the problem is the tobacco companies circumventing the law. The problem is the law itself, and the fact that it expressly permits the companies to rename and repackage the products formerly known as "lights" or "milds." Thus, these anti-smoking groups have no one to blame but themselves.
