If electronic cigarettes keep people smoking who would otherwise quit, that is harmful, he says. But it's not "smoking" so the point then being?

To ban e-cigarettes you'd first have to ban regular cigarettes as they have 10X the chemicals. Good luck in banning regular cigarettes without an attractive alternative. Furthermore you'd have to prove that e-cigs are more hazardous than any pharmacuetical product being sold as a method to quit smoking.

Despite the FDA report being thoroughly and completely refuted many times over news agencies still love quoting it. Journalism was an honored profession at one time...today it is ok to use any sensationalism either made up or real to sell their stories.

Very sad...
