New FDA sponsored study

[caramel]

A new angle of attack: "advertisements for e-cigarettes produce the urge to smoke regular tobacco products".

I'd like to see the details of the study - how long did they watch videos, how long was the survey, what were the questions.. I'm thinking a regular smoker would be wanting a cigarette inside of an hour +/-.

This is an easy study to set up to get the answer you want, the choice of questions would likely reinforce the focus on wanting a smoke. I wonder if they even asked if these people would be interested in trying an e-cig instead of smoking.

I chucked at this line in the abstract, my bold:

Relative to other conditions, in the cue condition, daily smokers reported greater urge to smoke a tobacco cigarette and a marginally significantly greater incidence of actually smoking a tobacco cigarette during the experiment.

Agree with you, keep a smoker watching anything (e.g. weather channel) for 1h, he will in the end have an URGE to light one lol

Question is - did vapers get the urge to vape when watching e cig adverts?

I do. I get the urge to vape anytime I see one of those commercials, or anytime I see someone smoking, or... anytime the wind blows. I'm not picky, anything is pretty much a good enough reason for me.

Yeah, I was that kind of smoker too.

I now understand tobacco smoking is not addiction to chemicals, it's a habit forming behavior. The ebb and flow of the chemicals are among many smoking ques. When I'm standing with smokders on break in the parking I feel no urge to smoke a cigarette. When I visit a place where I might routinely have a smoke that I haven't been since I quit, last November, I invariably think of having a smoke. Regardless, smokers get a lot of ques all day long. Did watching the videos increase the smokers daily consumption permanently? The other question not considered, do the vaping commercials get smokers off cigarettes and on to e-cigs. If that's happening then the cigarettes not smoked by people who quit might far outnumber additional cigarettes smoked by people who don't quit. The study considers neither of those possibilities. The researchers are well aware of the omission. They are well paid for their deceit.

Watching anti-smoking propaganda used to give me a strong urge to have a cig.

Man, I thought I was the only person depraved enough to crave a cigarette when the woman with the throat box was on TV.

^^-- well, that one makes me want to kick in my TV. Still, making a smoker crave a cigarette is like ...

I didn't get to see the link in the OP. It's broken. There's all kinds of junk science designed to sway opinions. I really don't think the FDA has a problem with vaping. They know it's much better than burning tobacco, but they can't actually condone it without butting heads with big pharma. Doctors all over agree that ecigs are the most reliable way to stop smoking.

That's exactly what I've been wondering; maybe the reason they're going so slowly to "regulate" is because they actually don't want to mess things up for those already vaping, but they have to keep BP and BT happy, so they're making all the right noises, but moving at a snail's pace to give more people time to switch, so that later they can say "we tried, Massuh, but The People have spoken."

Maybe?

I do hope you're right, but I don't give them that much credit.
