Sure, I understand that it is a lot more politically advantageous to go after smokers than it is to go after corporations and the wealthiest citizens. But it is also uncourageous. And it is certainly not leadership. Nor does it show vision.

Yesterday, I reported that Drs. Stan Glantz and Simon Chapman issued against Lorillard for running an inappropriate blu e-cigarette commercial (the robot sex ad). The truth is that Lorillard had nothing to do with the ad, which was produced in 2010, well before Lorillard acquired blu.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is telling the public that electronic cigarettes are a gateway to youth smoking. The CDC has alarmed the public about a concerning doubling of the use of electronic cigarettes by teenagers from 2011 to 2012. Although I pointed out that most of this use occurred among smokers, the CDC nevertheless concluded that electronic cigarettes are leading to increased smoking rates among youth.

Last week, three Democratic lawmakers -- Rep. Henry A. Waxman (CA), Sen. Tom Harkin (IA), and Rep. Peter Welch (VT) -- sent a to the Attorneys General in their states requesting that the AGs declare that electronic cigarettes fall under the terms of the Master Settlement Agreement (MSA) signed in 1998 with the tobacco companies.

Instead of whining about the tobacco companies evading the FDA tobacco law by using colors to denote the brands formerly known as "lights" or "milds," the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids and the other major anti-smoking groups should be apologizing to its constituents and to the public for knowingly crafting legislation that would not accomplish its declared purpose.
