"It borders on bizarre that critics like [West Virginia Senator Jay] Rockefeller continue to question the existence of those former smokers, even while arguing that e-cigarettes should be restricted or banned based on the that vaping will lead to smoking among teenagers who otherwise never would have tried tobacco."

Another inexcusable conflict of interest is the fact that Mitch Zeller, the director of the FDA's Center for Tobacco Products and therefore the chief author of the proposed electronic cigarette regulations, came to the FDA directly from a consulting job with GlaxoSmithKline and therefore has a severe conflict of interest regarding the electronic cigarette issue.

Since electronic cigarettes represent a huge threat to cigarette sales - as many smokers are switching to electronic cigarettes completely or reducing their cigarette consumption substantially and substituting vaping - this massive tax on electronic cigarettes would serve to protect cigarettes from competition, thus protecting Big Tobacco profits at the expense of the protection of the public's health.
