I sent this to Steve Milloy at junkscience.com. He's well aware of the "controversy" about PVs from folks like Glanz et al. He posted it.

We need as much good pub as we can get.

Nice comments. The true Junk Science is, of course, the reaction to this research by Stan Glantz.
Vocalek, I'm hoping Milloy will post something about Glanz. He has in the past. Milloy's site gets a lot of visitors, and sometimes the commenters have a free for all.

I told my Kurt about this. He says that if we are going to kidnap you, you have to come down to Washington DC so we don't have to drive out of our way to kidnap you on our way to Richmond. Oh, and who do we contact to ask for your ransom money?
Lets hope that the truth about ecigs can overshadow the hype from those who hate anything that resembles smoking. There are those who view ecigs as something that just prolongs the consumption of nicotine. I'm sure they also wish the tobacco settlement would go away just because it makes the government beholden to the cigarette industry for a steady income stream.
The politics of nicotine consumption is just as much about political funding needs as it is about public hate for smoke or vapor. For us it's about safety and the right to consume a product that has yet to be shown detrimental to our health and safety or the health and safety of those around us.
At this point, I think ecigs are magnitudes safer than smoking and far less dangerous than a Big Mac and fries diet (or most of the things available in fast food joints).
Just some observations ... thinking out loud. This report helps to confirm what I've always thought about vaping.

If the numbers in that post are anywhere close to accurate, then what I take from the PM2.5 legislation is that they've been sold a bill of goods that doesn't exist. Fine particulate matter includes dust from dirt roads. We should be seeing significant numbers of deaths from failure to pave all roads. But then, they are all about outlawing smoking, not increasing general air quality (except for smoke particulates).
From the article ... link at bottom of clip.
ETA: Most of what PM2.5 talks about is industrial in nature or related to transportation emissions. It does talk about dust from paved or unpaved roads and wood stoves (one of the things that was lauded in the 70s to reduce energy consumption).
The FAQ for 2012 standards is here. There is no language that refers to smoking or vaping or even aerosols.
