Opinion

  1. JP Massaro JP Massaro United States says:

    First of all, where is your proof, Dr. McAndrew? If you cite the 2009 FDA study I am going to laugh at you and suggest to your superiors and your medical board that your license to practice be revoked posthaste. That study was flawed and no one has ever been able to replicate the results, and people have tried. What you are doing is blatantly lying to the American people without scientific medical facts so that big pharma will keep funding you and your hospital. You keep prescribing NRTs that are 95% ineffective, Mr. Expert. What does that say about you?

    Maybe you should read what the ACSH said in the following article:
    acsh.org/.../

    Incidentally, they also said e-cigarettes were the #2 top unfounded health scare of 2013 here:

    And you say there is no research, and not enough is known? Again, please visit this site. OVER TWO DOZEN STUDIES CONDUCTED THUS FAR.

    And Michael Siegel at Boston University?

    Shame on you, doctor. The FDA is a joke organization that doesn't know their a** from a hole in the ground. Experimental medications and NRT treatments can, and have killed people. Electronic cigarette total deaths to date in the last 11 years since their creation? ZERO.

    I'm a user of these products and I have felt 200% better after switching from tobacco to e-cigs. Thousands of other people worldwide are saying the same thing. Please, just stop.
