Some excellent comments by CASAA's Greg Conley.

Was disappointed with following comments made by Theresa Cross and someone at CDC, as I've sent them lots of studies and lab reports on e-cigarettes.

"It's probably a lesser amount of the toxic substances, but the research just isn't there to support it, and we would never say it's a safe product," said Theresa Cross, health educator for Clark County's chronic disease prevention program.

The CDC does acknowledge that e-cigarettes "appear to have far fewer of the toxins found in smoke compared to traditional cigarettes." However, the agency stipulates, the long-term health effects must be studied.
