The most telling point is Dr. Glantz's opposition to legislation that classifies electronic cigarettes as being separate from tobacco products. The electronic cigarette associations have been lobbying local and state governments not to classify e-cigarettes as tobacco products. This makes perfect sense because they are not tobacco products. They contain no tobacco. They are orders of magnitude safer than cigarettes and should not be treated in the same category for regulatory purposes.

However, this deterrent effect - if present - depends upon the availability of flavored electronic cigaretttes. If only tobacco and menthol e-cigarettes were to be allowed on the market, this deterrent effect could no longer take place.

With this disregard for the basic principles of science, the FDA is undermining literally decades of public education about the severe hazards of cigarette smoking. The FDA is negating the benefits we have accrued from the tobacco companies halting their own undermining of the public's appreciation of smoking's hazards because the agency is now doing that work for the tobacco companies.
