ScienceDaily article...Grrrr. Based on Mayo Clinic info.

No mention of how it helps smokers stay off cigs....or any attempt at balance.

I'm more interested in published studies. Didn't see any really sited here, just a bunch of heresay. Did I miss something?

 

[AttyPops]

Well, this IS media and general news, not necessarily studies only. But..... it did site Mayo Clinic pubs as a source base. See bottom of article.

Ironic that the Related Stories in the sidebar include a couple pretty positive articles. This article is two year old hogwash.

Yeah, but to be clear the article was published today.

You should definitely edit your OP and break the link to that kind of garbage.

Sorry Atty, I didn't mean the article was old, just the content.

The link goes to a page that drops names and refers to general information on the effects of nicotine - mainly Cancer research that was done on tobacco pointing out that nicotine is a carcinogen. Duh. But nothing siting actual e-cig studies. I found three at a glance on Google... I could give them the links if they need them.

The 2013 TRDRP slides how showcase still referred to hogwash too. they're so updated ... Not. Except Dr. Etter who is on top of things.
How do they get away with it with their peers and officials? We citizens know more than the "experts" do!!

Following the link to the story source at the Mayo clinic near the end

The American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) will host a press conference about e-cigarettes and their health effects on Tuesday, Oct. 29 at 9:30 a.m. ET, at the 12th Annual AACR International Conference on Frontiers in Cancer Prevention Research, held Oct. 27-30 in National Harbor, Md. Scott Leischow, Ph.D., co-lead, Cancer Prevention and Control Program, Mayo Clinic, Scottsdale, Ariz., will join other experts for a discussion about existing scientific research on e-cigarettes and their impact on health, as well as the need for additional research that can inform effective cancer prevention strategies, public health messages, and regulatory activities.

They're going to have a meeting about our "well being". That's probably why the FDA drivel has reappeared (again). Mayo seems to be loyal to their line of BS.

Mayo Clinic's Nicotine Dependence Center offers FDA-approved medications and evidence-based care that is safe and effective in helping people quit smoking.

Not quite how I see it
