The study concludes that "e-cigarette use is aggravating rather than ameliorating the tobacco epidemic among youths."

(See: Zhu S-H, et al. Four hundred sixty brands of e-cigarettes and counting: implications for product regulation. Tobacco Control. Published online ahead of print on June 17, 2014.)

In my opinion, Dr. Glantz's conclusion from this study is unscientific, illogical, and extremely damaging and destructive to the FDA's consideration of this issue as well as to the public's appreciation of the severe hazards of cigarette smoking.

In my opinion, the fact that there are significant conflicts of interest that should have been disclosed is undeniable. Moreover, it is undeniable that these conflicts are relevant to the subject matter of the paper. The article makes the bold and I believe incorrect statement that treatment with drugs is the "standard of care" for smoking cessation. In fact, I believe that there are many methods that physicians appropriate use to promote smoking cessation in their patients, and medication is only one of these methods. Many physicians recommend other approaches, including counseling, hyponosis, 12-step programs, and cold turkey quitting.

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.

The CDC's statement is wrong on its face. If there is reputable evidence from former smokers that e-cigarettes helped them quit smoking, then there is indeed conclusive scientific evidence that e-cigarettes "can work" as a cessation aid.
