Benefits of E-Cigarettes May Outweigh Harms, Study Finds

I really enjoyed reading this article and the findings are certainly encouraging. I do take issue with the following passage from the AMA however -

"The AMA's recommendations include a minimum age of purchase; childproof packaging; restrictions on flavors that appeal to young people, and a ban on unsupported claims that the devices help people quit smoking."

In response I say this:

1. Minimum age purchase - I fully agree.

2. Childproof packaging - Again, I fully agree.

3. Flavor restriction - Hell no, adults like flavors too and many of us don't want to use tobacco flavored juice, thank you very much.

4. Ban on unsupported claims - All I can say to this is that vaping was the only way I was able to successfully quit smoking after a quarter century of trying to quit and failing miserably. It may be anecdotal, it's not scientific, but nonetheless the statement is true. Make of that what you will AMA.

I suspect most vapers feel the same, particularly when we know that if it wasn't for vaping we would definitely still be smoking. Your thoughts?

You're quite welcome. Love the quote from Professor Einstein by the way

The claim that certain flavors attract children is completely unsubstantiated based on the current existing evidence. Every study done on children and e-cigs has found that children who use them have a previous history of smoking traditional cigarettes. Based on the actual evidence, if any flavor should be banned to prevent attracting children it ought to be tobacco flavors.
