While not exactly news (being from 2000), I thought the following article relevant to current politics of eCigs

Tobacco Settlement Dollars Go Up In Smoke in Latest Government Scam

Essentially, the article shows that if you 'follow the money' you realize funding from the tobacco MSA is mostly for current political whims than what one might think would be logical use of those dollars.

My favorite quote:

The oft-invoked “children” are seeing less than a dime of every dollar extorted on their behalf.

As I continue to say, it is never ever about the children. But an appeal to emotion can work wonders. So much so that revisiting that 'logic' with eCigs means we the (anti) people can extort even more funding from those users to pay for your pet political project.
