Relatively small haul today - all US domestic. Article by Loyola Med. Sch. prof. is getting syndicated in various places - see below. Also C.V. Phillips & Dr. Siegal on new indoor "secondhand vaping" study. Interesting Stanton Glantz quote implies vaping has 20% cessation rate success (see CA story at end).
Coverage: US states - DE; VA; OH; WI; IA; OK; TX; ID; UT; AZ; CA

This seems to be popping up everywhere ... look for articles that begin with the following paragraph:
It's no easy task to quit smoking and the lure of an e-cigarette, which claims to mimic the smoking experience without the harmful chemicals, seems a dream come true for many smokers. According Philip McAndrew, MD, Loyola University Health System physician and smoking cessation expert, that dream can quickly turn into a nightmare with no FDA product regulations. The truth is little is known about the chemicals e-cigarette smokers are inhaling. What is known is there is an increase in the number of adolescents smoking them.

(What was he thinking? Doesn't that make them vastly more effective than other forms of nicotine repacement as smoking cessation?"Most of the people, about 80 percent of people who use e-cigarettes, keep smoking regular cigarettes," said [Standon] Glantz.
