E-Cigarette Critics Accused of "Libel" and "Slander" // But FDA is Already Asserting Jurisdiction Over Product

Just a press release dated today, full of the usual noxious stuff, but I wonder about this assertion that evil puppeteers of the e-cig empire are accusing Banzhaf (? unnamed others?) of libel and slander.

Is it worth it to attempt to talk sense into people like him? I'm assuming not... he's been at this a long, long time, and his views were already completely entrenched 20+ years ago. In any event, his email is at the link: contact@banzhaf.net .

The Food and Drug Administration [FDA] today finally agreed to regulate e-cigarettes - and presumably also e-pipes and e-cigars - apparently as a result of pressure from an NBC-TV Nightly News piece which appeared tonight, and which would have featured an interview with public interest law professor John Banzhaf about a legal petition he and his organization filed which could have compelled the FDA's action if the agency continued to drag its feet.

thanks for his contact info...he goes back to ASH, but they have a BS webmaster email only.

Mailed that ..... (read his articles, he uses the same tactics the FDA does, claiming 'oh, o many unknowns' and 'second hand smoke' and other crap).

He should be ashamed to call himself a professor of anything but sleaze tactics,IMO.
