The US Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) makes the statement: “Tobacco use is the single most preventable cause of disease, disability, and death in the United States”.
While this makes sense, the problem is that vested interests have redefined tobacco to include anything that includes nicotine.
The conflation of vaping with smoking allows bigots and prohibitionists incorrectly to paint electronic cigarettes as containing child-friendly flavours and be a tobacco industry product geared towards the ensnaring of teens through irresponsible branding and marketing practises.
With most flavours not being granted market access by the Food and Drug Administration, misinformed campaigners, liars, and Bloomberg-funded interests are now turning their sights on to menthol.
