Wars are won one battle at a time

ETA:

“We can’t allow e-cigarettes to establish themselves the way cigarettes have and then, five years from now when we’ve answered all the open scientific questions, we have to try to stuff the genie back in the bottle,” he said.

E-cig Opponent believes in Genies

And if there are none?
Protection, reflection or just plain old CONTROL?

Let's hope the US law makers take the hint. I'm happy for those living in Europe and I hope more people get off of tobacco.

I had absolutely no doubt that 'medicalisation' would not have 'gone through'-as that would have been heavily challenged in law.
There was no 'victory in the EU'-they have voted on halving the 'legal' limit for nicotine without a license (currently 7.5% in the UK)
And then there's this......

Lots of stuff, scroll down about two screens for the English version. Pity the comments are in French but if you use chrome it has a rudimentary translation facility.

What a pile of wet stinky stuff!

“These products threaten to undo all that,” said Matthew L. Myers, president of Campaign for Tobacco Free Kids, who wants the F.D.A. to issue tough guidelines for how e-cigarettes can be marketed and sold. With such regulations, “e-cigarettes have potentially positive value,” he said, “but we’ve already seen that, if left to their own, e-cigarette manufacturers will reach out to our children, do everything to maximize sales, including re-glamorizing smoking, and that’s where we are today.”

I guess that Matthew L. Myers is upset about the fact that past 30-day smoking rates among 12 to 17 year old youth have continued to decline, reaching a record low in 2012. And this happened as experimentation among middle school and high school students with e-cigarettes was on the rise. He wants to reverse that trend?
