The Food and Drug Administration is asking the public to weigh in on the health effects of electronic cigarettes.

Or we can't prove anything in e-cigs are harmful, but if we have the public behind us we know we can say anything and get away with it.

It sounds like a nice headline, until you read the following -- my emphasis:

The Food and Drug Administration is asking the public to weigh in on the health effects of electronic cigarettes.

In a notice in the Federal Register on Tuesday, the agency requested that comments, supported by research and data, be submitted no later than April 15.

You mean the research that has already been presented to them and subsequently ignored?

They also set up to get the answer they want with the last paragraph:

Though the jury’s still out on the impacts of e-cigarettes on public health, a 2014 surgeon general report said nicotine in any form — combustible, smokeless or electronic —can have adverse effects on adolescent brain development.

I think this shows their bias pretty clearly - pretend neutrality (jury is still out) but the surgeon general says nicotine is bad and we have to save the children...
