In a sent to the FDA Commissioner on August 1, Senator Dick Durbin (D-IL) and 12 Congressional colleagues demand an immediate ban on e-cigarette flavorings, based on what they purport is evidence that electronic cigarettes are a gateway to smoking.

On the Greenville Health System , a respiratory therapist writes: "I strongly oppose the use of e-cigarettes. It is unregulated and could potentially be more dangerous than a regular cigarette."

There is a part of this story that was not revealed at the hearing, and it is time to reveal it now at the Rest of the Story.

Sadly, the FDA itself - in its proposed deeming regulations - that we do not yet know enough to determine whether vaping is any more dangerous than smoking. I find it horrific that the FDA - the agency which is going to supposedly be using science to make informed, evidence-based decisions regarding tobacco products - is not sure that cigarette smoking is any more hazardous than the use of fake cigarettes that contain no tobacco, involve no combustion, produce no secondhand smoke, have much lower levels of carcinogens, and have been found to acutely improve the health of smokers who switch to them.
