(I deleted the link, read the next comment to get to the Tribune article)
Here's some juicy quotes:
"Nicotine inhalers are a proven safe and effective way to help people stop smoking."
"When the US Food and Drug Administration analyzed samples of two popular brands of e-cigarettes, they found varying levels of nicotine and traces of toxic chemicals, including substances known to cause cancer."
"The liquid inside many e-cigarettes contains a substance called propylene glycol. It creates the e-cigarette's vapor. Other common uses of propylene glycol are in cosmetics and as an ingredient in fog machines and antifreeze."
"No studies have been done to examine the safety of e-cigarettes."
"Also, no convincing evidence shows that e-cigarettes are useful in helping people to eventually stop smoking."
Ah, yes. The FDA. An organization so devoted to the health of the nation's citizens they neither know, nor care, how safe the over 10,000 additives processed food manufacturers use in our food.
You'd think a doctor would know PG is used in those very same nicotine inhalers, along with asthma inhalers and nebulizers. You'd also think a doctor would know how "effective" nicotine replacement therapies have been. To anyone who knows what the FDA has said about e-cigarettes, it looks like this guy did no research at all.
