Once again, shoddy research by opponents of electronic cigarettes has led to a situation where false conclusions are being disseminated widely to the media and the public. Most unfortunately, damage is being done to the public's health because news headlines like this are likely to dissuade many smokers from trying to quit using e-cigarettes. Of course, this means they will continue smoking the toxic real ones.

The Business Standard and Medical Xpress reporters were not the only ones to get this message from the study and its authors. According to an on the CBS Atlanta web site: "Exposure to surfaces and objects that have been saturated in cigarette smoke, labeled as “third-hand smoke,” may be as deadly as smoking the cigarette itself."

The rest of the story is that this assertion by the FDA - that cigarette smoking may be no more hazardous than vaping - appears to be more politically-based than science-based. President Obama, in his inaugural address, called for a return of science to public policy. He asked that science be restored to its rightful place. However, the assertion that cigarette smoking is not known to be any more harmful than inhaling the aerosol produced by heating a solution of nicotine and propylene glycol is hardly something that can be viewed as science-based. Especially when e-cigarette vapor has been extensively characterized and shown to be far less toxic than cigarette smoke.
