"The FDA and major anti-smoking groups keep saying that we don't know anything about what is in electronic cigarettes," Siegel said. "The truth is, we know a lot more about what is in electronic cigarettes than regular cigarettes."

Best quote in this story IMO.

Maybe I was wrong. This one is good too:

"Taking these products off the market would force thousands of users to return to cigarette smoking," Siegel said. "Why would the FDA and the anti-smoking groups want to take an action that is going to seriously harm the public's health? The only ones who would be protected by a ban on e-cigarettes are the tobacco companies, as these new products represent the first real threat to their profits in decades."

Take note, in all this, of the sparsity of reporting; this is a study published by a major university journal, conducted by a physician with public health credentials as long as your arm—and the findings are seeing the light of day, if at all, only in the blogosphere.

Where are all the news organizations that were falling all over themselves to champion Prue Talbot's anti-vaping pseudoscience, published by UCR, an academic backwater?

What are you saying? That the media would willingly under report a story that does not fit into their predetermined conclusions? This could never happen as our media has such high journalistic integrity. These guys (and gals) are professionals after all!

Why would they....? A song from long ago comes to mind, money, money,money, monnnneeeey, monneey. FACT, FDA, funded by those they regulate. Removing tinfoil hat now and going back to the game and vaping. Go Packers and Jets!
