Following a summit organized largely through E-Cigarette Forum (ECF), James Dunworth at Ashtray Blog put together some cliff notes on the debate over whether electronic cigarettes should be classified as medicine. Dunworth does a rather nice job of keeping things balanced between the two sides — of which there are merits for both.

Dunworth gives more than just a few bullet points on each side too. He digs in enough to clarify the points and provide a much clearer understanding of the debate at hand.

Pieces like this are good for the industry. They provide the community with a much clearer understanding of what’s going on and equip them with the arguments they need to support their side.

This is even good for ourselves and our U.S.-based community members to have a look at. Many of the same arguments apply to the debate at hand with the U.S. Fo0d and Drug Administration.

It’s also common occurrence that U.S. policy takes notes from debates and decisions made in other countries (this happens more often than we might like to admit). The debate over medical classification of electronic cigarettes in London (and even the E.U.) is likely to infect decisions and the direction of policy in the U.S.

Dunworth presents the arguments without a lot of judgement and baggage. Some are harder to do that with than others. We’ll take a closer look at some of them soon.
