According to the of the grant proposal, the research question that the lab team is proposing to investigate is as follows: "The goal of this application is to determine the effects of Third Hand Smoke on wound healing. ... It is known that first-hand smoke and secondhand smoke (SHS) inhibit wound healing but nothing is known about the effects of third-hand smoke (THS) on wound healing. ... To address this problem, we will use mice, expose them for 6 months to THS present in their cages and, at the end of the exposure period, we will perform wounds on their backs and study the time course of healing by examining not only the wound areas but also the properties of the tissues."

These results hardly seem consistent with the CDC's statements that electronic cigarette use is causing an alarming increase in youth smoking.

Clearly, this requested action brings up significant issues under the Compact Clause, issues which certainly do not qualify for an exception from this clause under the Supreme Court's decision in United States Steel. (For a detailed discussion of how enforcing the MSA on electronic cigarette companies would violate the Compact Clause, see the excellent submitted by the Competitive Enterprise Institute in S&M Brands.)

1. Electronic cigarette companies cannot inform consumers that these products are safer than cigarettes, and they cannot even tell the public that they are free of tobacco.
