Councilman Constantinides' desire to take flavored electronic cigarettes off the market may be motivated by a legitimate desire to protect kids from addiction, but the reality is that his proposal would greatly increase smoking addiction in New York City by removing from the market a product that is helping thousands of New Yorkers to eliminate their smoking addiction or at least to greatly reduce the level of that addiction.

For example, Stan Glantz argued against electronic cigarettes in a Scientific American , claiming that: "We’ve found very high levels of dual use [traditional cigarettes along with e-cigarette use]. Very few people have switched away from cigarettes or managed to use them as a bridge to eventually go off cigarettes."

The authors provide several examples of the dishonesty and misinformation being provided by tobacco control researchers, groups, and policy makers.

Moreover, the scheme is regressive and unfair because it balances the budget on the most needy, rather than most well-off, members of society. If we have a budget shortfall and need to find revenues to fund a much-needed early childhood education program, shouldn't that money come from the wealthiest 1% and from corporations, rather than from individuals who tend to be at the lower end of the income spectrum?
