A recent from the Grand Island Independent demonstrates this phenomenon. In the article, a physician with the St. Francis Cancer Treatment Center strongly discourages smokers from using e-cigarettes to quit smoking. Instead, he insists that smokers rely only upon FDA-approved drugs.

The headline of the UCSF announcing the results of Stan Glantz's recent of e-cigarettes reads: "E-Cigarettes: Gateway to Nicotine Addiction for U.S. Teens, Says UCSF Study."

In epidemiology, we have a term to describe what Glantz and Dutra are doing here. There is a term that we commonly use to describe a statement that is crafted to deliberately mislead the public about study results. That term is: a lie.

The Business Standard and Medical Xpress reporters were not the only ones to get this message from the study and its authors. According to an on the CBS Atlanta web site: "Exposure to surfaces and objects that have been saturated in cigarette smoke, labeled as “third-hand smoke,” may be as deadly as smoking the cigarette itself."
