After three years of diligent policy-related work, the AAPHP Tobacco Control Task Force finds itself in the unexpected position of being a major advocate for the widespread use of electronic cigarettes,…

The AAPHP also submitted 2 petitions to the FDA, one to re-classify electronic cigarettes as a tobacco product and another to request the FDA to correct misinformation given in the FDA’s July 22, 2009 Press Conference.  Even doctors agree that the FDA was mis-representing the evidence!  For a full description, the full text of each petition, and 100+ pages of supporting evidence, go to:
