Dr. Foulds and colleagues developed a 10-question scale to assess nicotine dependence and administered it to a sample of 2,368 current electronic cigarette users. Subjects were asked to fill out the scale to assess the level of their addiction while smoking, and then again to assess the level of their current addiction using electronic cigarettes.

For example, one of the major problems in some of the previous survey studies of electronic cigarettes (the ones cited by Stan Glantz, for example) is that they fail to control for a major confounder: the level of a smoker's addiction to smoking and motivation to quit. Some of the studies that Glantz has cited to show that e-cigarettes are ineffective for smoking cessation compare users of e-cigarettes and non-users of e-cigarettes. In two of these studies, those who did not use e-cigarettes had higher quit rates.

If the policy were based on health principles, then it would certainly include other behaviors, such as those related to obesity, which have large health care costs and which set a "bad example." It would certainly include alcohol use as well.

According to the press release: "Like conventional cigarettes, electronic cigarettes (or e-cigarettes) may function as a “gateway drug”—a drug that lowers the threshold for addiction to other substances, such as marijuana and cocaine—according to the 120th Shattuck lecture, presented to the Massachusetts Medical Society by Columbia researchers Denise and Eric Kandel and published today in the online edition of the New England Journal of Medicine." ...
