"For National Non-Smoking Week, the Canadian Lung Association encourages people who want to quit smoking to use scientifically proven methods and to avoid gimmicky unproven methods, like electronic cigarettes."
That is the only definitive statement that they made, they stated that ecigs are gimmicky unproven methods of quitting smoking. All the other statements they made used "may" or "could" instead of stating things as a fact. They were careful in their wording... it was a scare ad just like many of the political ads these days. It was a low blow no doubt, and they should have just focused on people quitting smoking.... the money people donated (and likely some of it is our tax dollars) could have been put to better use.
That makes me wonder, how much money is given to them by Big
tobacco and how much is given to them from our tax money? Maybe they have another reason to argue against ecigs other than health reasons.
