Another inexcusable conflict of interest is the fact that Mitch Zeller, the director of the FDA's Center for Tobacco Products and therefore the chief author of the proposed electronic cigarette regulations, came to the FDA directly from a consulting job with GlaxoSmithKline and therefore has a severe conflict of interest regarding the electronic cigarette issue.

If this is the kind of "scientific" reasoning that is going to guide the nation's decisions on how to handle tobacco products which are killing hundreds of thousands of Americans each year, then we may actually be better off reverting back to the "wild, wild west" that Stan Glantz keeps talking about. At least in that wild west, consumers are able to make reasonable judgments about the relative safety of different products. In the FDA-regulated "east," consumers are going to be kept hidden from even the most basic truths: that electronic cigarettes do not contain tobacco and that they are much safer than the real thing.

In my opinion, a ban on flavors in electronic cigarettes would completely destroy the electronic cigarette market. If the FDA is going to ban the flavors in e-cigarettes, then it might as well just ban the product entirely.
