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.

• We lied to you when we told you that electronic cigarettes may be "every bit as dangerous" as tobacco cigarettes.

With hundreds of electronic cigarettes out there, I hear outlandish claims all the time and most of them have been nothing more than just sales pitches.

A defective cigarette is one which causes health effects "beyond those normally associated with tobacco product use."

This story is particularly alarming, because it shows that for some anti-smoking groups, it really is no longer about health. It is solely about ideology. And apparently, the European Respiratory Society will cling to its precautionary ideology while smokers go to their graves.
