NCI gives tobacco harm reduction denialist $2.3 million to study young adults use of tobacco harm reduction products
Researchers to study how young adults use e-cigarettes, snus
I can already envision Mermelstein's conclusion of her first published survey, which will say something like "While nearly all young adult e-cigarette users are smokers or recent quitters, the FDA should strictly regulate e-cigarettes because several nonsmokers indicated experimental use of an e-cigarette."
Below are several quotes that were attributed to Mermelstein in this article. Seems like the NCI only funds opponents of harm reduction to conduct research on THR products.
"What's intriguing and potentially challenging about the introduction of these new products is that they are perceived by many people as being safer products and alternatives to traditional, combustible tobacco," says Robin Mermelstein, director of the UIC institute and principal investigator of the National Cancer Institute-funded study.
Our study is going to look at what some of their motivations are for using these products; how they use them; where they use them," she said. "Does it increase their overall tobacco dependence? Or, perhaps, does it help them reduce their tobacco dependence?"
