What is the new "evidence" that e-cigarettes are a gateway to smoking? According to the letter sent by these politicians to the FDA: "What’s even more troubling is that these products serve as a gateway to traditional tobacco products.

The above argument is convenient for advocates who want to suppress "negative" or "unfavorable" findings by discouraging RCTs - which they believe will "underestimate" the effectiveness of e-cigarettes for smoking cessation and encouraging survey studies - which they believe will show the effects of vapor products in all their possible glory. However, the argument carries with it a lack of scientific validity.
