Last December I issued an advisory on the youth e-cigarette epidemic, saying we must take action to protect the health of our nation’s young people.

Wow! You said that folks on twitter were definitely pro vaping, and you were right! I am all for your commitment to science, evidence, and creating environments where youth can be safe and healthy. In your words, “harmful is harmful.”
