So apparently the FDA is having a 2 day workshop program on ecigarettes & public health in December at the White Oak conference center in silver spring. I wonder what's going to go down during this workshop. Any views on this guys?

Found these for the OP.

The key here is who from the industry steps up to be a panelist. I watched a federal workshop a few years ago (not FDA) about
the credit card industry and potential high rates, hidden fees, etc. The panel was filled by major bank credit card issuers with magnificent credentials who spoke eloquently about how meticulous they were and how outsiders and 3rd parties were to blame.

I believe we will see big tobacco attorneys and scientists that have conducted research funded by big tobacco serving on the panels.

Most of the time, these workshops have web broadcasts - with luck, anyone with an interest can tune in and hear a great deal you will know is not exactly truth.
