		<description><![CDATA[There&#8217;s another story from New Zealand about the safety of electronic cigarettes, with the Health Ministry stating that the devices are far safer than regular cigarettes. So that&#8217;s it, they are going to be made legal. Oh no! You see, that makes smokers seem normal: Let&#8217;s summarise. Electronic cigarettes are vastly safer than cigarettes but [...]]]></description>

He argues that there is no need for additional regulation. I agree, as Trading Standards is doing a perfectly good job with companies that are based in the UK. Some companies get round regulations by [...]]]></description>

Estimates of the number of smokers killed by tobacco cigarettes vary between half and one-third of smokers. Yet scientists estimate that electronic cigarettes are between one hundred and one thousand [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In a fascinating new scientific discovery, ASH has found that the danger of some chemicals depends on who is making money out of them. For example, tiny traces of tobacco-specific-nitrosamines are absolutely harmless when used in products sold and promoted by ASH sponsors. Nicotine poses no danger when sold as a nicotine cessation product by [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Statements by the WHO/Anti-smoking organisations on the electronic cigarette from a conference in Uruagay appear to make little sense. Quit smoking aid? &#8220;The electronic cigarette is presented as an instrument certified to quit smoking but there is no scientific evidence to support this assertion,&#8221; said Eduardo Bianco.

In the latest THR update from Godshall (see previous post) Godshall reports on a poll by the Annals of Internal Medicine. If you remember, the Annals published their opinion that electronic cigarettes were a bad idea. [...]]]></description>

But  their decision was never made public &#8211; and its instructions are being ignored by British drug giant GlaxoSmithKline.

(See It&#8217;s more about options given than options taken.) The post follows an argument from Stanton Glantz that smokeless tobacco should be banned because it won&#8217;t become popular.
