"The paper, "Short-term effects of electronic and tobacco cigarettes on exhaled nitric oxide," by Sara Marini, et al, just published in Toxicology and Applied Pharmacology (Volume 278, Issue 1, 1 July 2014, Pages 9–15), reports important data showing that nicotine e-cigarettes, non-nicotine e-cigarettes, and conventional cigarettes all have similar effects of depression of exhaled nitric oxide."

Not only does this column provide bad medical advice, but the advice itself is based on misinformation. For example, the article claims that e-cigarettes have been shown to be a gateway to smoking: "Most dangerous of all is the appeal to children. Vapor is less irritating than smoke, and comes in flavors such as bubble gum, cola and chocolate. Some children who would not try regular cigarettes will be tempted by e-cigarettes. As soon as they start, they will become addicted to nicotine and suffer from the health effects and expense of that addiction. Others who start with e-cigarettes will go on to use real cigarettes, and face the deadly diseases they cause."

In a strange and ironic twist, in an published in the journal Tobacco Control and a blog on the article, a set of anti-smoking researchers are attacking the cigarette industry for complying with the law.
