Anecdotes are in fact data. Of course, what you do with that data and how you interpret it is affected by the nature of how the data were obtained. But anecdotes are data. Remember, the connection between smoking and lung cancer itself was first uncovered by a case series. Physicians started to note multiple cases of lung cancer - which was very rare at the time - all occurring in smokers. While these patients could be called "anecdotes," they were also people who provided very real and important data that led to the discovery that smoking causes lung cancer. That connection would not have been found had these "anecdotes" been dismissed.

While the deeming regulations pretend to acknowledge that there is "a continuum of nicotine-delivering products" in terms of their health risks, the truth is that the agency fails to acknowledge that the most hazardous product along that continuum - cigarettes - are any more hazardous than the least dangerous product (non-tobacco electronic cigarettes).

Actually, what is completely disingenuous is the attempt of these politicians to pretend that they are committed to ending the use of flavorings to addict youth to nicotine. The rest of the story is that these same lawmakers chose not to ban the use of cigarette flavorings to addict youth to nicotine. Specifically, they have supported an exemption for menthol, which is the number one flavor used by cigarette companies to addict youth to nicotine and cigarette smoking.
