Incidentally, the Reynolds/Lorillard lawsuit seeks to have Drs. Benowitz, Henningfield, and Samet dismissed from the FDA's TPSAC (Tobacco Product Scientific Advisory Committee) panel because of these conflicts of interest. While these conflicts do not preclude the participation of these scientists as authors of the Surgeon General's report, they absolutely must be disclosed to the public.

The Rest of the Story

The press release announcing the study results is titled "E-Cigarettes Unhelpful in Smoking Cessation among Cancer Patients."

This creates a huge incentive for Congress, and the President, not to take any action that would substantially reduce cigarette consumption. For example, it would create an incentive to bury electronic cigarettes somewhere under the Beltway so they cannot compete with the traditional cigarette products.

Such a regulatory action would remove the ability of companies to market their products and would eliminate the taste and appeal of the product, handing the entire cigarette category over to Big Tobacco.
