"It should be stressed that misleading information in this arena can cause actual harm to real people if they react to misplaced concerns in ways that cause them to continue to smoke. Further dangers arise as physicians and other trusted professionals give bad advice based on false information. Finally, there is the danger that policy-makers and legislators will be misled into making excessively restrictive regulations that protect cigarette sales from competition from much safer and better alternatives. I believe your study and the subsequent media work owe more to misguided activism than to responsible academic investigation, and as such they have no place in professional public health practice or a reputable university"
 
Well, that told him ! What i like about these kind of articles is the sheer mass of them piling up. They are forming a reinforcement of the truth & highlighting facts at a fast rate. This kind of publishing is getting harder to ignore all the time. It's there for the whole world to see.
