For example, I am proud of having been part of a team that was the first ever to report that the dietary supplement L-tryptophan can via the eosinophilia-myalgia syndrome. This important conclusion - which had major public health policy implications - was based on a single reported case of pulmonary hypertension. In other words, it was based on a single "anecdote." Had we dismissed this finding because a single anecdote is not data, then we would have failed to report this relationship and many more patients would have suffered that fate, possibly leading to fatalities.

•People shown using e-cigarettes or playing a significant role must neither be, nor seem to be, under 25

There is a part of this story that was not revealed at the hearing, and it is time to reveal it now at the Rest of the Story.

In 2011, a federal court in the USA gave the Food and Drug Administration the permission to regulate e-cigarettes under the same laws as tobacco consumption. This was due to the fact that these devices provide nicotine just like the real thing. In the UK, the government has taken a different stance and according to the NHS, they are to be considered a medical aid to help smokers kick the habit. This will be brought into play in 2016 and until that date it is thought that e-cigarettes will remain in that grey area that allows their sales to be largely unregulated.

As a public health advocate, the position of the Tobacco Control Legal Consortium is perplexing to me. The Consortium appears to be calling for the removal of the 24-month grace period for submission of substantial equivalence or new product applications by electronic cigarette products. If this advice were to be implemented, then the only electronic cigarettes that could remain on the market are those which were actually marketed as of February 15, 2007. This means that 99.9% of the electronic cigarettes currently on the market would have to be taken off the market.

With the release of its deeming regulations, the FDA is poised to give a huge gift to combustible tobacco and to the diseases and death caused by cigarettes. If promulgated as is, the regulations will be devastating to the public's health by protecting the combustible cigarette market at the expense of the introduction and promotion of much safer alternative products that would otherwise have the potential to substantially reduce lung disease, heart disease, stroke, and cancer.

Based on these most recent data from the UK, it appears that there just is not evidence to support the wild contentions that anti-smoking groups, advocates, and health agencies like the CDC and World Health Organization are disseminating to the public. Contrary to what Stan Glantz is telling the press, there simply is no evidence that the use of electronic cigarettes is undermining smoking cessation or impeding the decline in smoking prevalence. Nor is there evidence that electronic cigarettes are causing nonsmokers or ex-smokers to return to cigarette smoking. Moreover, there is no evidence that dual use is decreasing the motivation of smokers to quit or precluding these smokers from reaping any health benefits.
