OfficialWire: Anti-Electronic Cigarette Campaign Funding Revealed

Finally! Some eyes are starting to open...

Edit: Well, I guess I should have looked up the author (especially after I noticed all the grammatical mistakes). Turns out Jean Rasbridge, author of this article, is from http://www.ecigarettedirect.co.uk/. So not third party but informative nonetheless.

I love this line by Professor Siegel:

"banning electronic cigarettes on those grounds alone and without taking into account the quantity would also mean the banning of nicotine gum, nicotine inhalers - and peanut butter."

It's a sad day in America when we attack something that helps so many people.
I have the right to the pursuit of happiness.
So just let me vape!
Not suprised that people would attack it if there is more money to be made else where,
Isn't that what it's all about, Money?

[Mr Sinister]

Money is what it's all about. And power.

So it's just another self serving press release from the e cig industry. This as opposed to the public safety "News releases" issued by the FDA.

I hope this thread isn't removed by the moderator because it is a press release. It points to very valid observations. The tail certainly is wagging the dog in the case of the FDA and those anti organizations.

Exactly. Although true, the article is self serving. I'll completely understand if this thread is removed.

PURE AND SIMPLE you know the big tobacco companies are shelling out huge amounts of money to the government...

i guarantee if the FDA was this concerned with e-cigarettes they could do a very good study relatively cheaply and quickly they have the resources for sure

Well, that one was pretty easy to figure out. Just like the writer said at the bottom of the page...follow the money trail.

What was obviously self serving was the presentation by the FDA. We see how effective that turned out to be.
