The thrust of my comment related to Milov’s proposals about e-cigarettes.

Yet, you felt compelled to dispute that common sense and public health had scored a triumph against smoking anyway.

I quit smoking a long time ago. Regulation played no role in my decision. Information about the long-term effects did.

Great, so we are in agreement. We need to get a LOT more information about the health ramifications of e-cigs so users can make informed decisions.

I don’t know about you, but I am not interest in leaving this research to the private sector in general, and the people who profit from cigarettes of all description in particular. That leaves the FDA.

If they turn out to be perfectly safe and non-addictive, don’t regulate. If they addict and ultimately kill people, regulate.
