“This divergence between reality and public opinion is largely due to attempts by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to scare and misinform the public about e-cigarettes’ relative risks and benefits. Despite the harm reduction potential of e-cigarettes, the FDA, CDC, and anti-smoking advocacy groups have been relentless in their attempts to raise doubts about the safety of e-cigarettes and suppress their use. While they claim their campaign is targeted at preventing never-smokers and minors from initiating e-cigarette use, it has also deceived adult smokers. Every message from the CDC and the FDA that drums up fear and turns Americans away from e-cigarettes should be measured in the lives it could cost.”
