Miller is an addiction treatment specialist and he specifically points to diethylene glycol, a chemical in e-cigs that, while used in other products, is a known carcinogen and is untested and unproven as safe to smoke.

Here DEG is being touted as an ingredient in all ecigs rather than the oversight that it was. Of course, no mention of the quantity found that one time.

The American Medical Association and the Food and Drug Administration said that there's a better path to stop smoking.

Coincidentally, it's the path that lines the pockets of these "non-profit" organizations.
