Saturday May 30, 2015 10:00 AM | Matthew Glans | www.humanevents.com Many elected officials are trying to undermine these efforts by treating e-cigarettes the same as traditional cigarettes even though they are completely different products. Banning the use of e-cigarettes in private establishments, in addition to excessive regulation and taxation of these products, is a shortsighted decision that ignores the benefits of e-cigarettes as a nicotine replacement. In a new...

Levels are about the same as those found in air. Jacob Sullum|Mar. 4, 2015 6:32 pm | www.reason.com Anti-smoking activists and public health officials who question the usefulness of electronic cigarettes in reducing tobacco-related disease often talk as if the content of the aerosol generated by these newfangled contraptions is utterly mysterious. While it may be plausible that the absence of combustion makes e-cigarettes safer than the conventional kind, they...
By MICHAEL B. SIEGEL, THE WALL STREET JOURNAL Feb. 24, 2015 6:48 p.m. ET 202 COMMENTS When electronic cigarettes came to the U.S. about 2007, I was skeptical. My assumption was they were a ploy by the tobacco industry to hook more people into smoking under the guise of being a safer product—the notorious low-tar cigarette scam all over again. But as I talked to many e-cigarette users, known as...

Mark Benson, OK Premium Electronic Cigarettes, December 23, 2014 Tobacco dollars and the political elite There are few industries in history that have shown the growth seen in the vaping sector over the last decade. It is easy to forget that the vaping industry was seen as something of a niche market at the turn-of-the-century yet 2015 is expected to see the turnover of $2 billion in the US electronic cigarette...
Sally Satel, Forbes, 12/01/2013 The good news is that the smoking rate has hit a new low. It is now just under 18% of all adults – but the goal of a totally smokeless society is elusive. Epidemiologists estimate that if the smoking rate continues to decline at the current pace, it will take 40 years to halve again, and cigarettes will claim millions more lives. Now if only anti-smoking...
E-cigarettes have exposed the fraud of public-health advocates. By Grover Norquist & Paul Blair For years, people claiming to be public-health advocates have pushed for higher tobacco taxes. They argued that if you were to increase taxes on tobacco, consumers would be forced to kick their unhealthy habits and quit smoking cigarettes.

VIDEOGRAPHIC: Electronic cigarettes, fast growing in popularity as a cheaper alternative to tobacco and a good way of giving up.
It’s time for public health officials to advise smokers that electronic cigarettes are a worthy alternative to smoking that can help them quit the tobacco habit. Most e-cigarettes look like cigarettes. But people who “vape” – use e-cigarettes – are not smoking. They are instead inhaling a water-like vapor that is free of the tar and the sky-high levels of carcinogens that make cigarette smoking so dangerous. Activists who...
