As I yesterday, U.S. Senator Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) and a number of hiscolleagues are pushing for a ban on flavored electronic cigarettes, which theysay is necessary to protect kids from addiction to nicotine. Senator Blumenthalis supporting his proposal by purporting to cite scientific evidence thatelectronic cigarettes are a gateway to a lifetime of addiction to cigarettesmoking.

There is no justification for drawing this sweeping conclusion based solely on studies of mouse brains, without a shred of clinical or epidemiologic evidence that suggests e-cigarettes serve as a gateway to smoking or illicit drug addiction. And I think it is inappropriate to engage in this kind of scaremongering.

If it was the anti-smoking groups' intention to remove these products from the market, then they should have made sure that the legislation removed these products from the market. But given that they did not do that, these groups cannot stand up today and pretend that the problem is the tobacco companies circumventing the law. The problem is the law itself, and the fact that it expressly permits the companies to rename and repackage the products formerly known as "lights" or "milds." Thus, these anti-smoking groups have no one to blame but themselves.
