None of the documents that Glantz cites indicate that any electronic cigarette company had anything to do with orchestrating, mobilizing, or affecting the positions taken by these groups.

In a sent to the FDA Commissioner on August 1, Senator Dick Durbin (D-IL) and 12 Congressional colleagues demand an immediate ban on e-cigarette flavorings, based on what they purport is evidence that electronic cigarettes are a gateway to smoking.
