FDA FDA/NIH funded junk e-cig gateway study touted by JAMA intended to promote FDA e-cig ban

[Bill Godshall]

FDA/NIH funded junk study published/hyped by JAMA falsely insinuates e-cigs are gateways to cigarettes and OTP to confuse, scare and lobby for FDA’s proposal to ban >99.9% of nicotine vapor products on the market.

Note that study was coauthored by conflicted former TPSAC Chair Jonathan Samet, purported to study potential gateway effects of e-cigs, but only ask irrelevant questions about “ever use” of e-cigs and “past six month” smoking, then improperly excluded all smokers from the data analysis, and then failed to acknowledge any of overwhelming evidence disproving authors’ assertions.

JAMA invites Adam Leventhal (one of the FDA/NIH funded authors) to further hype terribly designed and irreconcilably biased study that deceitfully insinuated e-cigs are gateways to cigarettes (which the study never found, nor was designed to study).

Although some of this crap from JAMA, news stories and excellent commentaries (exposing the study's many flaws, and refuting its fear mongering insinuations) appear on other ECF threads, I'm creating this thread to organize all the documents, expose that this FDA/NIH junk study was intended to lobby for FDA's proposed e-cig ban (not to study potential gateway effects of e-cig), and to make it easier for future searches on ECF.

The first five times I tried to create the thread, nothing happened (or so I thought), so I tried again and again until I was notified that the thread had been posted.
I don't know how to delete a thread.

Bill the more you post the better off we are. Your posts are very informative.

Seems to me that they found that kids who smoke are more likely to try vaping than kids
who don't smoke.
