According to the article: "The U.S. surgeon general's landmark finding last week that filtered cigarettes may actually increase the risk of lung cancer could lead to a flurry of new lawsuits against tobacco companies and even expand cigarette litigation outside of Florida, where it has flourished for nearly a decade."
"The new survey [published by the ] ... provides further evidence that e-cigarettes help smokers quit... . Eighty-nine percent of the respondents reported that they had smoked at least 10 cigarettes a day before they started vaping, and 88 percent said they were not currently smokers. Those findings are similar to the results of focusing on people who participate in online vaping forums, reported last April in the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health. That study, which included more than 19,000 vapers from around the world, found that almost all of them (99.5 percent) were smokers when they started vaping. Four-fifths of them had stopped smoking completely, while the rest had reduced their cigarette consumption, on average, from 20 to four per day."
As I point out in the piece, the CDC is partly responsible for the backlash against e-cigarettes because it publicly concluded that e-cigarettes are a gateway to smoking:
Actually, I would go one step further. I don't see a need for pre-market review of new electronic cigarette products, as it is the older ones which pose the most concern and the product quality has improved with innovation and time. Moreover, such requirements would stifle innovation. Instead, if I were the FDA, I would simply establish a set of safety standards that all products must meet. These standards would address issues such as battery safety, quality of ingredients used, type of ingredients used, temperature regulation, quality and safety of metal parts, and child-safety of packaging.
