NY Times prints letter to editor that falsely states “The tobacco industry’s marketing of electronic cigarettes to teenagers”

[Bill Godshall]

The NY Times won’t print letters correcting their editorial’s false claims about e-cigarettes, but printed a letter today that falsely states “The tobacco industry’s marketing of electronic cigarettes to teenagers” despite no evidence e-cigs are marketed to teens and the fact that just 1 of >400 companies that market e-cigs nationwide is a tobacco company.

IMO, the Editor is trying to bump up ratings by aggravating people into viewing and commenting.

A bunch of proactive positive letters would be nice to see though.
