In other words, the blatant flaw in this study is that it enrolled smokers who had already made quit attempts using e-cigarettes in the past. By definition, this resulted in a sample of smokers who were more resistant to quitting. One would expect to find lower quitting rates among this population of e-cigarette users.

• The truth is that the study only measured ever use of electronic cigarettes, not current use, regular use, or addiction to nicotine. Thus, it could not determine whether the kids who had tried electronic cigarettes ever used them again. So it could not tell if these kids were addicted to nicotine. They may have simply tried an electronic cigarette and not vaped again.

One of the key examples in question is a on the Cato Institute site in which Jacob Grier makes a number of insightful comments that are supportive of electronic cigarettes.

The Rest of the Story

What is most disturbing to me about this story is that there is clearly no room for a difference in opinion in the tobacco control movement about certain dogmatic elements of the field. You can't express disagreement without facing personal attack, no matter how well you support your argument with scientific evidence. Like a religion, you can't challenge the gospel-like nature of movement's mantra without being viewed as a heretic.

Make no mistake, war is coming to the E-Cig industry.
