10/5/15 | Michael D. Shaw | HealthNewsDigest.com This column has already documented officialdom's unrelenting war on e-cigarettes. In fact, those articles were some of the best-read I have ever posted, so I guess we touched a nerve. The insidious tag team--comprised of Big Tobacco and the supposed public health interest groups against smoking--is perfectly evocative of the Bootleggers and Baptists phenomenon, originally described by economist Bruce Yandle. This latest attack comes...Despite Evidence, FDA Targets E-Cigarettes With Proposed Regulations August 24 2015

July 8, 2015 | BY JEREMY B. WHITE | The Sacramento Bee A California bill regulating electronic cigarettes sputtered in a key committee on Wednesday as members made a major change that led the author to abandon his own measure.

By MICHAEL B. SIEGEL, THE WALL STREET JOURNAL Feb. 24, 2015 6:48 p.m. ET 202 COMMENTS When electronic cigarettes came to the U.S. about 2007, I was skeptical.

E-cigarettes have exposed the fraud of public-health advocates. By Grover Norquist & Paul Blair For years, people claiming to be public-health advocates have pushed for higher tobacco taxes.
