The CDC has done enough damage with its irresponsible and untruthful propaganda about electronic cigarettes. It is time that policy decisions be guided by science rather than politics. And the science is now in. It indicates that youth smoking levels are at record lows, which casts serious doubt on the hypothesis that electronic cigarettes are fueling an alarming increase in youth smoking.

The Rest of the Story

An published in the current issue of Addiction recounts the many ways in which tobacco control researchers have been dishonest with the public about the science regarding electronic cigarettes. It then discusses what needs to happen moving forward, and concludes that what is needed is for tobacco control researchers to be honest.

It should be clear to readers that this study was poorly designed toinvestigate the efficacy of electronic cigarettes. The study systematicallysampled a group of quitline callers who were unsuccessful using electroniccigarettes. These people tried and failed using electronic cigarettes. How dowe know they failed? Because they wouldn’t have had to call the quitline ifthey weren’t still smoking. This is clearly a harder core group of smokers andit is no surprise that their cessation rates were lower after 6-months than thecomparison group. The study tells us nothing about the effectiveness ofelectronic cigarettes, other than that they do not work for everyone. In fact, this research is biased in favor of not finding aneffect of electronic cigarettes on smoking cessation.
