For those who depend on electronic cigarettes or “e-cigarettes” as they’re known, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration recently announced that “a laboratory analysis of electronic cigarette samples found that they contain carcinogens and toxic chemicals such as diethylene glycol, an ingredient used in antifreeze.”

An FDA release added, “Because these products have not been submitted to the FDA for evaluation or approval, at this time the agency has no way of knowing, except for the limited testing it has performed, the levels of nicotine or the amounts or kinds of other chemicals that the various brands of these products deliver to the user.”

Same 'ol garbage...

Follow up on this a bit and you find that it's a press release from LaPaloma, an in-patient addiction treatment center... You can read the same article on their blog at lapalomatreatment.com

Yes, a lot of places are making press releases about e-cigs to garner attention to their own companies and websites. Savvy marketing or pit dwelling vipers? Both.
