FTC should collect and release detailed information on e-cigarette marketing and promotions | Center for Tobacco Control Research and Education

It DOES point out that most of the marketing is being done by BT for their disposable cigalike products. Other than than I saw noting but more half-truths and outright fear-mongering using "the children" to further their agenda.

ok, ok, ok… Face value, it's not an unreasonable proposal from what I read of it. Problem is, we have very (very, very!) good reason to suspect that whatever data would come from such studies is going to get so twisted to support their predetermined conclusions that it's a farce at the outset.

Pass.

Bullets being fired before the FDA even pulls the guns out.
Just like the American Cancer society constantly referring to e-cigs as Alternative tobacco Products< Before Deeming

This is all Bad Acting on the part of those in a Position of power to Push an Agenda regardless of Fact or Consequence.

My guess is they have someone in particular in mind to do all this collecting and analyzing and releasing of information. Sounds like a lot of work. Can't have the fox guard the geese for free.
