The rest of the story is that despite the Common Rule and the intense efforts to try to prevent human subject violations in research, there are still occasional studies which find their way through the cracks. This is one bad example. It is an example of an unethical experiment that should never have been approved by an IRB in its current form because it blatantly violates the ethical principles of both consent and informed consent.

This creates a huge incentive for Congress, and the President, not to take any action that would substantially reduce cigarette consumption. For example, it would create an incentive to bury electronic cigarettes somewhere under the Beltway so they cannot compete with the traditional cigarette products.

If the FDA is not sure that removing all of the carcinogens from cigarettes - and reducing their concentrations to no more than trace levels - is going to make "smoking" safer (even forgetting the fact that there is no smoke and no combustion associated with vaping), then one has to ask whether the FDA is basing its positions only on science, and not on any political or ideological concerns.
