How safe are e-cigarettes?
Courtney Perkes, The Orange County Register, 22 September 2009 -- ...Tonya Moraffah takes a deep drag on her cigarette, feels the soothing surge of nicotine and explains what extinguished her 30-year, pack-a-day smoking habit. Every evening, she plugs her battery-operated electronic cigarette into a charger. She no longer carries a lighter or sucks breath mints all day in the office. "I call myself a non-smoker," says Moraffah, a 54-year-old executive assistant from Tustin, Calif. "I thank God this came into my life. I'm healthier than I was smoking tobacco. There are other advantages. I don't want to smell like a cigarette."...

Electronic smoke aids offer unproven alternate to regular ciggarette smoking
Katie Forstner, The Northern Light, 22 September 2009 -- ...Tobacco has helped fuel the American economy since colonial times, yet it kills nearly six million people annually, according to the World Health Organization. “No smoking” signs plague the same social venues where cigarette smoke was once a sign of class and prosperity. But technology, it seems, has finally caught up with the tobacco industry with the prevalence of smokeless electronic cigarettes on store shelves......

Inane Public Policy: Ban Electronic Cigarettes, and Approve the Real Ones
Tuesday, August 04, 2009 -- I have written extensively about the scientific and policy issues regarding electronic cigarettes in the past two weeks. But what it all really comes down to is this: it would be absurd for the FDA to ban electronic cigarettes at the same time that it approves the real ones.
Jacob Sullum, in a post yesterday on Reason Online's Hit & Run blog, points out the absurdity of what the anti-smoking groups are asking the FDA to do. He notes that these are supposed to be anti-smoking groups, yet they are asking the FDA to approve real cigarettes and ban the much safer electronic ones...

AG stops sale of electronic cigarettes
Friday, July 31, 2009 --The Oregon Department of Justice on Friday filed two settlements that prevent two national travel store chains from selling “electronic cigarettes” in Oregon. The action is the first of its kind in the country and prevents Oregonians from buying potentially dangerous products that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has yet to approve. The affected travel store chains, Pilot Travel Centers, which has seven centers in Oregon, and TA Operating, which has four centers in Oregon, both sell “NJOY” brand electronic cigarettes. Electronic cigarettes are actually battery operated nicotine delivery devices constructed to mimic conventional cigarette. Each “cigarette” consists of a heating element and a replaceable plastic cartridge that contains various chemicals, including various concentrations of liquid nicotine. The heating element vaporizes the liquid, which the user inhales as if it were smoke....

State-by-State E-Cigarette Bans?
Friday, July 31, 2009 -- Last week Oregon Attorney General John Kroger bragged about successfully pressuring two travel store chains, Pilot Travel Centers and Travel Centers of America, to stop selling electronic cigarettes at their locations in the state. Action on Smoking and Health wants every attorney general to follow suit. "Until the FDA acts," says ASH Executive Director John Banzhaf, "it is appropriate for attorneys general to act to protect their health of their citizens."...

Comparison of Carcinogen Levels Shows that Electronic Cigarettes are Much Safer Than Conventional Ones
Thursday, July 30, 2009 -- The FDA last week condemned electronic cigarettes on the basis that an FDA laboratory detected carcinogens (tobacco-specific nitrosamines) in the cartridges of several electronic cigarette manufacturers. The FDA held a press conference in which it attempted to scare electronic cigarette users into discontinuing e-cigarette use (and therefore a return to conventional cigarette smoking). In addition, a number of anti-smoking groups, including the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids and American Lung Association, have called for a ban on these products due to this carcinogen scare.
The FDA (and the anti-smoking groups), however, failed to do three important things:
First, they failed to disclose the levels of tobacco-specific nitrosamines that were detected in the electronic cigarette cartridges.
Second, they failed to test the control product (a nicotine inhaler) to determine the carcinogen level in that product.
Third, they failed to report the tobacco-specific nitrosamine levels in conventional tobacco products, including cigarettes...
