“Of all the threats to Americans’ health — a list that includes bird flu, measles and West Nile virus — few get Dr. Tom Frieden as riled up as electronic cigarettes.  As director of the CDC, Frieden has a ready-made platform for spreading his views about the dangers of vaping.  He said, ‘people have a misconception that the tobacco epidemic is a thing of the past. Tobacco still kills more Americans than any other cause. It still kills more than 1,000 people a day. As a doctor, I can tell you it kills them in really unpleasant ways — gasping for breath with emphysema, with cancer, with heart disease.’  What does that have to do with e-cigarettes?  ‘E-cigarettes are a tobacco product,’ he said.”
