"The government has an obligation to carefully scrutinize any new consumer product that is presented as an alternative to smoking. But government agencies and public health officials have no business discouraging or disparaging e-cigarettes in the absence of any data that they are causing harm. This is especially the case when these products have so much potential to curb cigarette smoking, the public health scourge that still claims half a million lives a year."

The Annapolis hospital's new hiring policy might be controversial, but it is legal in Maryland and more than half of the United States. ... Anne Arundel Medical Center, like a growing number of health systems, universities and other businesses, will require a urine test for nicotine use for all applicants starting next July. The policy ... covers not only cigarettes, but cigars, pipes, snuff and e-cigarettes."

Without adding a descriptor of some sort, the cigarette companies would not have been able to distinguish their sub-brands. For example, Marlboro "Lights" would now be called "Marlboro." Marlboro "Ultra-Lights" would now be called "Marlboro." And Marlboro "Milds" would now be called "Marlboro." Thus, there would be three brands on the market, all called simply "Marlboro," and consumers would have no way of telling them apart.

Similar data from the U.S. would be very helpful. But unlike prior reports, these ones should quantify not only experimentation, but also regular use, stratified by prior status as smokers versus nonsmokers.

The truth is that Senator Rockefeller pretended to be committed to protecting the health of our nation's children, but instead, he was actually protecting Big Tobacco profits by exempting menthol from the flavoring ban. The Tobacco Act banned every imaginable flavor that was not actually being used in cigarettes (e.g., cherry, strawberry, banana, and pineaple), yet it exempted the one flavor (menthol) that was actually being used to addict children to a lifetime of smoking - a greatly shortened lifetime for many of them.
