Maybe it's mass madness, or something even darker, that has led America's public-health leaders to take part in a mass attack on electric cigarettes? To put this in perspective, their target is not smoking, our number-one avoidable health problem, but a product that could prove to be its treatment. Starting in 2009, the crusade against this development innovation-- electric cigarettes and associated reduced-harm vapor items, referred to as 'e-cigs'-- has actually stealthily spread out from coastline to coastline, under the malicious assistance of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

While the portion of Americans who smoke has been progressively falling over the past years, the number of addicted adult smokers has actually continued to be in the low-40million variety. There are two primary factors for this. First, cigarettes are terribly addicting: the mix of rapidly acting nicotine and various other psychedelic drugs in the smoke, plus the comforting rituals of the practice, keep cigarette smokers in a deadly embrace which less than one in 20 can dissolve unaided. Second, the methods developed over the past couple of decades targeted at assisting smokers give up have actually shown abysmally ineffective.

Nicotine Replacement Therapies (NRTs), such as nicotine patches, gums and drugs, only enhance the 'success rate' of long-lasting cessation to about 10 percent. Put another method, they fail nine breaks of 10.

Regardless of these depressing results, smokers are still recommended to stick to these FDA-approved approaches. For desperate, addicted smokers, the net message is: you might also continue smoking cigarettes. The CDC's own stats recently estimated that a remarkable 480,000 people die each year from cigarette smoking-- and 20 times that number end up being chronically ill, typically from heart and lung diseases. However, the full spectrum of smoking-related illness might fill a book-- and has.

Provided this dire scenario, one would think that those who have contendinged with against the scourge of cigarette smoking for decades would be leaping with joy at the prospect of an ingenious, disruptive approach that may in fact work. How, then, to describe the monolithic, damaging propaganda war being performed against e-cigs nationwide, originating from health professionals, professors, journal editors, regulatory authorities and political leaders?

One source of the current horrendous scenario is the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act-- passed and signed by President Obama. Trumpeted as a major

achievement for public health, the only actual winners appeared to be the political leaders who assisted to craft it: they got to trumpet their accomplishment in lastly bringing the evil tobacco industry into the FDA's governing orbit. Nevertheless, the act has actually been largely not successful in bringing cigarette manufacturers into line. The act required disclosure of the components in cigarettes, some marketing restrictions and a ban on flavoured cigarettes-- with the glaring exception of menthol, the only flavour actually preferred by a significant section of cigarette smokers. The act likewise required the FDA to mandate graphic caution labels on cigarette packs-- a proviso which the firm has actually still handled to not achieve over five years later.

Nevertheless, the act has actually likewise been a boon to the tobacco industry, in putting firm constraints on 'harm reduction' items. Any brand-new item that may deliver potent levels of nicotine without the accompanying hazardous stew of carcinogens now has to cut through a great deal of red tape before being permitted on the marketplace by the FDA, successfully safeguarding cigarette markets from competitors. Now, proposed FDA regulations would consign almost all of the current, dynamic, ingenious e-cig market to bankruptcy or takeover, most likely by Big Tobacco.
