* Clive Bates analyzes and responds to the letter to the editor submitted representatives of Bloomberg Philanthropies, Campaign for Tobacco Free Kids, and Truth Initiative. In detail he discusses: | |||
**No sign of debate about strategies that work | |||
**Dismissing credible and well-informed critics | |||
**Misunderstanding adolescent vaping | |||
**Misrepresenting the role of flavours in vaping (flavors) | |||
**Baseless claims about the vaping industry | |||
**Alarmist but empty claims about nicotine | |||
**Banning flavoured e-cigarettes – a campaign that is likely to do more harm than good | |||
**Claiming credit for reductions in vaping achieved by misleading claims about lung injuries | |||
**Tobacco control as inflexible dogma locked in the past | |||
**Smears and innuendo | |||
**Displaying basic misunderstandings about tobacco harm reduction | |||
**Missing the point about vaping regulation | |||
**In denial about evidence for smoking cessation but prohibitionist anyway | |||
**Anti-industry war-cry to deflect attention from their own weaknesses | |||
**The question of accountability | |||
