CDC acknowledges e-cigs not among “10 most important public-health challenges of 2014”

CDC admits (by omission) e-cigs not among “10 most important public-health challenges of 2014” (despite agency’s many false and misleading fear mongering press releases to confuse, scare and lobby for FDA’s proposed e-cig deeming reg/ban, state/local bans)

Well, issue #9 is smoking. I'm sure somewhere in their dogma they would throw vaping under the bus on this topic as something that would slow their abstinence agenda. Feels like there just wasn't enough space to slag vaping in the piece - only enough to trumpet what they approved of.

I believe P_L is correct. CDC lumps vaping with smoking...

Interesting - the order - the kinds of cost related - the known costs that aren't mentioned.
