Click for my Op-Ed in the Washington Times: “FDA must protect teens but not deny smokers the benefits of e-cigarettes!”

Posted on December 11, 2019December 11, 2019 by admin

My thoughts on FDA’s proposal to ban flavored vaping solutions in the Washington Times. An excerpt: “In 2018, the National Academy of Sciences found “conclusive evidence that completely substituting e-cigarettes for combustible tobacco cigarettes reduces users’ exposure to numerous toxicants and carcinogens present in combustible tobacco cigarettes.” According to Public Health England, e-cigarettes probably inflict fewer than 5 percent of the harms of conventional cigarettes. Further, a study published in the New England Journal of Medicine last February found the e-cigarettes were almost twice as effective as other types of nicotine-replacement therapy like nicotine patches and gums.” https://m.washingtontimes.com/news/2019/nov/5/fda-must-protect-teens-but-not-deny-smokers-the-be/
