You've got to be kidding me! Based on some non-human studies of the toxicity of electronic cigarette chemicals in cell culture and based on the fact that her researchers believe vapers may have to take deeper breaths when vaping than smoking, Professor Talbot has concluded that vaping may be more harmful than smoking?

Moreover, what scientific evidence is the FDA looking for in order to approve a simple claim that electronic cigarettes are safer than tobacco cigarettes? If the overwhelming current evidence is not sufficient, then no evidence will ever be sufficient because there is no further research that is necessary in order to draw this conclusion. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that a product which burns tobacco and produces tobacco smoke with more than 10,000 chemicals including more than 60 carcinogens and causes more than 400,000 deaths per year is more harmful than a product which merely heats and aerosolizes nicotine from a solution of propylene glycol.

Hopefully, the New York City Council will vote down this proposal. If policy makers are interested in protecting kids from electronic cigarettes, they should focus on regulating the sale and marketing of these products - just as we do with the real cigarettes. It makes no sense to ban the entire product category, especially when we know these products are helping many smokers quit or cut down and when there is no evidence that the use of these products is causing youth to become addicted to smoking, or even to e-cigarette use itself.

The Rest of the Story

According to an in the UC Riverside campus newspaper, a UC Riverside researcher has discovered that electronic cigarettes are more hazardous than tobacco cigarettes.
