    Schools Handing Out Harsh Punishment for E-cig Use

    EU Dutch sound alarm about possible risks

    I saw this link when reading a story about NYC. It started out ok: Dutch sound alarm about possible risks of e-cigarettes I'd like to see the NIPH analysis, but the precautionary statement wasn't too bad compared to the usual 'we don't know so ban it' position I've seen all to often. We...
