On his wonderful science and advocacy , tobacco control practitioner and former director of Action on Smoking and Health (ASH-UK) Clive Bates issues a : an open letter to Stan Glantz urging him to discontinue the misrepresentation of his research to spread false and unsupported information about electronic cigarettes being a gateway to cigarette smoking.

It should be stressed that misleading information in this arena can cause actual harm to real people if they react to misplaced concerns in ways that cause them to continue to smoke. Further dangers arise as physicians and other trusted professionals give bad advice based on false information. Finally, there is the danger that policy-makers and legislators will be misled into making excessively restrictive regulations that protect cigarette sales from competition from much safer and better alternatives. I believe your study and the subsequent media work owe more to misguided activism than to responsible academic investigation, and as such they have no place in professional public health practice or a reputable university."

In my view, Dr. Fiore's failure to disclose these conflicts suggests that he really does have something to hide. If not, then what is the danger in not being honest and disclosing these conflicts?

Sadly, Stan Glantz continues to feel the need to lie to the public in order to try to discredit opinions with which he does not agree. And while I have no problem discrediting statements by exposing the truth about financial relationships which present conflicts of interest, I do have a problem with spreading false lies that make the public believe that there is a conflict of interest present and which therefore defame the reputation of the individual. Not only is this unlawful, but it is unethical as well.
