Current research indicates that nicotine is a negligible contributing factor to tobacco related mortality.
Nicotine is toxicologically equivalent to caffeine and is NOT carcinogenic.
Delivery media of Electronic Cigarettes (EC) are demonstrably safe to humans after decades of research and use in myriad products we consume every day.
I propose:
The FDA immediately halt all attempts to associate ECs to tobacco products or regulations before unbiased scientific review.
The US commit to immediately reallocate a substantial portion of tobacco related budgets towards the research of EC efficacy and to not impede citizens’ freedom of informed choice related to EC use.
The US invite other countries to join a concerted war on tobacco related deaths worldwide, with ECs as the new weapon.
