News from China E-Cigarette: The research team from University College London stated in their new report that for every 1 million smokers, e-cigarettes save 6,000 smokers each year. This conclusion has reignited the debate about the health impacts of e-cigarettes in society. The research team expressed in an editorial published in the British Journal of General Practice that public health organizations are too hasty in trying to regulate e-cigarettes under tobacco product regulations. A recent editorial published in The Lancet stated that there is currently insufficient evidence to prove the safety of e-cigarettes and whether they reduce tobacco use levels. The American Lung Association and over 20 other public health organizations jointly issued a statement last week suggesting that the FDA accelerate the regulation of e-cigarettes.
