Dr. Siegel: Electronic cigarettes commentators fail to reveal conflict of interest

Dr. Siegel's piece about the Room For Debate
he was a part of in Wednesday's New York Times
points out one of the glaring problems with the 
"anti-smoking" camp. Although there is no 
"one way" to quit smoking,  numerous advocates
not only promote one particular way of quitting, 
but also (quietly) gain financially from their 
considered opinions. They're like Nick Naylor, only 
on the other side. Some of the partnerships that are 
being forged are looking too much like alliances 
created using Big Tobacco's covert actions as a 
blueprint. Nicotine is nicotine. More than a few verbal 
"pro-vapers" are making a timely living off of e-cigs. 
Because e-cigs will sidle to anyone who will listen.

Dr. Michael, thanks for the heads up.
