In an email to the FDA by a concerned user of the electronic cigarette, a serious question was brought to the table that returned a shocking response.

A concerned user of the popular electronic cigarette sent an email to the FDA worried with the reports released by the FDA concerning the safety of it. This person accidentally asked a question of the FDA that no other had asked directly to them before, and the FDA responded with one of the most shocking and revealing answers one could ever imagine.

Casting public health aside, the FDA returned an answer that proves their unwillingness to care, promote and help the people of the United States find other alternatives by refusing to even answer the questions of the general public.

"We are unwilling at this time to quantify the safety of electronic cigarettes as compared to traditional cigarettes." Was the exact quote from the FDA concerning this question. This begs the question of "why are they unwilling"? Why is the agency that is charged with protecting the health of the citizens of the United States "unwilling" to answer questions concerning a health concern.

"They do not want reality out in the public" states Tiffany Ellis, "They know that many studies by very prominent health care professionals have stated that the electronic cigarette is 100 to 1,000 times safer than traditional tobacco cigarettes, and they have to protect their special interest funders."
