They didn't ask that question. And although their surveys have been asking about smoking for years, the 2012 report was silent on the subject.<br /><br /><br />We do, however have data on smoking among 12-17 year old youth from SAMHSA. http://www.samhsa.gov/data/NSDUH/2012SummNatFindDetTables/NationalFindings/NSDUHresults2012.htm#fig5.8<br /><br />These data show that both past 30-day smoking and smoking initiation rates have been steadily decreasing since 2009. In fact, initiation rates reached an all-time low in 2012 of 4.8 percent for females and 4.7 percent for males. If we jumped to conclusions the same way our opponents do, we could say that we have proof that e-cigarette use lowers smoking rates among youth.Vocal EKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08797128689808591929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2670285911995096389.post-25709195283395495612013-09-11T10:39:14.146-04:002013-09-11T10:39:14.146-04:002012 NYTS data not available on the CDC website as...2012 NYTS data not available on the CDC website as of 11 Sep 2013.<br /><br />2011 data reviewed by me shows only 26 e-cig users who reported no other tobacco product product use.<br /><br />Never Used Other Tobacco Products: 26, 0.138% (Unweighted)<br />By Grade:<br />6th: 3, 0.016% (Unweighted)<br />7th: 5, 0.027% (Unweighted)<br />8th: 8, 0.042% (Unweighted)<br />9th: 4, 0.021% (Unweighted)<br />10th: 3, 0.016% (Unweighted)<br />11th: 2, 0.011% (Unweighted)<br />12th: 2, 0.011% (Unweighted)JD4x4https://www.blogger.com/profile/07044023816784273487noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2670285911995096389.post-90719371280061411722013-09-08T21:54:03.579-04:002013-09-08T21:54:03.579-04:00Just another poor example of a study to try and ge...Just another poor example of a study to try and get rid of e-cigarettes.

Let's be realistic here, he wouldn't have got the job in the first place unless he was a pharma nominee. A pro-public health candidate would have had as much chance of getting that job as I would have getting the job of Governor of the Bank of England.Chris Pricenoreply@blogger.com
