If you want to have a more detailed understanding of the issues at hand, I encourage readers here to explore the FDA section. With some caution. There are a lot of knowledgeable people over there on the issues. Experts like Bill Goddard, and Kristen from Cassa who post. There are also some really knowledgeable people on the material.
One of the problems with understanding the material at hand is the vast amount of material on the subject. Its complicated by politics and law. Some of those people over there in the FDA section, know there stuff. Guys like Stosh and Kent C. Kent C. has looked into all kinds of stuff, and he is a real factually driven guy. He can be really helpful, in understanding stuff if you pay attention to his stuff. Sometimes he kind of summarizes what has been said in vast amounts of material, and he even documents his summary with posits of proof. So much of his analysis I just accept as fact, because it is. <<<< That is right then I dont have to read it all myself. I dont know where the guy gets time to do it, maybe he is a speed reader.
The cautionary note in posting over there is this: If you dont stick to what you know as a fact, there will be times over there when you feel like you swallowed yourself.
Regarding the article, I spent three plus hours looking into the article and ended up with a page of notes. Stanton Glantz is involved,>>> again. Glantz is a Professor of Medicine in the Division of Cardiology, but he is NOT a Cardiologist. <<< When you start talking abt Glantz stuff, things get a little odd. Glantz was just involved in a really weird Time Magazine article that said Industry was winning the ecig battle.
Maybe tomorrow.
