"The FDA erred in concluding that current, ongoing financial relationships with drug manufacturers did not constitute a conflict. Since manufacturers of smoking-cessation drugs compete with manufacturers of DTPs, ... and since Dr. Benowitz stood to profit from the sale of NRT drugs, he faced a conflict with regard to providing advice in the TPSAC's report on DTPs. ... the TPSAC was charged with studying the public health impact of a drug (i.e., DTPs), and Dr. Benowitz had an ongoing business relationship (i.e., consulting work) with companies developing "alternative" or competing drugs (i.e., smoking-cessation drugs). Accordingly, I find that the FDA's conclusion with regard to Dr. Benowitz was a 'clear error of judgment.'"

The rest of the story is that in yet another area of tobacco control science, the Surgeon General's report is providing a biased view of the scientific evidence.

Let’s bring up the math again, I have 9ml out of a 10ml bottle full of VG and so I’m looking for only 1ml of flavoring. I wanted strawberry banana E-Juice so 0.5ml of strawberry and 0.5ml of banana. Easy enough, right I thought so too but as I was extracting 0.5ml of strawberry flavoring the bottle slipped and flavoring spilled out of the glass vial. Cleaning that up was the easy part, but getting the scent of strawberry out of the table was near impossible. These are concentrated flavorings and extremely strong to begin with but when the flavoring gets soaked in, it doesn’t come out. In fact, it has been a week and my table still smells like strawberries! I learned from my first mistake and this time I wrapped a small towel around the banana flavoring glass vial, this way if it spilt the towel will soak up the flavoring instead of the table. Thankfully I didn’t make another blunder and was able to add the banana flavoring into the E-Juice bottle I was creating. So I got my base, my nicotine, and my flavoring. I’m done, right Nope, not even close.

The Lie: Wimmer implies that the tobacco companies are promoting electronic cigarettes as being safe, and he links to one electronic cigarette company web site () as support for this statement.

• There is no evidence at the current time that kids are starting out with e-cigarettes and then going on to smoke conventional cigarettes.

The European Respiratory Society, then, is opposed to the use of e-cigarettes at the present time in the United States. What this means is that the ERS would rather see smokers continue to use tobacco cigarettes than quit smoking by switching to electronic cigarettes.

The weakness of the scientific argumentation of those opposed to electronic cigarettes demonstrates that in 2014, there simply is not much of a scientific argument to fall back on in opposing this innovation. The science isn't going to do it, so opponents have to rely on trite and meaningless assertions like:
