While the deeming regulations pretend to acknowledge that there is "a continuum of nicotine-delivering products" in terms of their health risks, the truth is that the agency fails to acknowledge that the most hazardous product along that continuum - cigarettes - are any more hazardous than the least dangerous product (non-tobacco electronic cigarettes).

A defective cigarette is one which causes health effects "beyond those normally associated with tobacco product use."

Data published last week in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine suggest that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) are doing an effective job of helping protect the cigarette industry. These data show that despite widespread marketing of electronic cigarettes, half of the adult public still thinks cigarettes are no more hazardous than the fake ones.

The truth is that this paper provides no evidence whatsoever that e-cigarette use is a gateway to smoking. Instead, it is entirely possible - and quite likely - that youths who use e-cigarettes are more likely to be heavier and more resistant smokers.

"The government has an obligation to carefully scrutinize any new consumer product that is presented as an alternative to smoking. But government agencies and public health officials have no business discouraging or disparaging e-cigarettes in the absence of any data that they are causing harm. This is especially the case when these products have so much potential to curb cigarette smoking, the public health scourge that still claims half a million lives a year."
