![]() Without a real cessation benefit there is no benefit to trade off against the millions of kids e-cigarettes recruit to nicotine addiction. More important, FDA continues to ignore the fact that much newer studies in the real world based on actual effects of e-cigarette use on cigarette cessation among consumers show no population cessation benefit of e-cigarettes. For example, “Thus, CC smokers who choose to use the new products may experience the benefits of significantly reducing their nicotine exposure, reducing their exposure to BOE (see Section 3.5.1.2.), reducing their nicotine dependence, and facilitating smoking quit attempts and success” (page 23).įDA’s speculation that Logic users reduced CPD will lead to cigarette cessation is based on a single literature review based on research published as of November 2004, 18 years ago and years before e-cigarettes were on the market. ![]() This is all the more stunning because JT/Logic does not present information in its application to make this case, something FDA recognizes:īecause reductions in CC consumption are other found to increase the likelihood of successful CC cessation ( Hughes & Carpenter, 2006), decreases in CPD associated with the use of the new products may promote CC quit attempts and lead to successful CC cessation among CC smokers who are interested in quitting however, these outcomes are not assessed in the current PMTAs.” (page 6)įDA repeats this argument many times in its report, never citing any specific evidence presented in the application or the current scientific literature to support its conclusion. FDA argues the Logic products will help smokers quit even though Logic makes no such claims
