American Association of Public Health Physicians

The statement below is a very strong endorsement for electronic cigarettes from a respected
and influential group of public health physicians and should be viewed as a very big win
for the electronic cigarette industry:

"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, and in favor of adding a harm reduction component to current
tobacco control programming based on informing actual and potential users of tobacco
products of the relative risk profiles of each type of product, compared to conventional cigarettes."
