"The challenge that the FDA has is that they will be challenged by the tobacco industry, as they have been at every step of the way. [The FDA] tried to regulate e-cigarettes earlier, and they lost to the tobacco industry. … So the FDA has to balance moving quickly with moving in a way that’s going to be able to survive the tobacco industry’s highly paid legal challenge."
And this is why when some responded to our proposal for a randomized behavioral study by arguing that such an approach was invalid and that we should do a survey instead, I viewed those responses as being unscientific and unsound. Instead, I believe what is truly behind these draconian opinions (draconian because they would throw out an entire line of potential evidence) is a bias towards electronic cigarettes. I'm not arguing that it is a conscious bias. It may be subconscious. But I don't believe that any objective scientist would argue for completely throwing out a randomized clinical study design and relying solely on survey evidence to draw conclusions about the effectiveness of a product such as electronic cigarettes.
Let's not forget that spurred on by the CDC's report and alarming public statements, politicians have that e-cigarettes are causing youth smoking and eventual cigarette addiction and death:
1. Big Tobacco companies are enticing youth with flavors such as bubble gum and cotton candy.
6. Very few nonsmokers or long-term ex-smokers are using electronic cigarettes.
