David Tully-Smith Md Phd Response

[Celtic]

I am writing to find out how you feel about the Electronic Cigarette for a huge group of people.

DrDave--> I am fine with any product shown to be safe and effective including electronic cigarettes supported by rational studies.

Can you please tell me your views and if you would allow this safer alternative to not be banned in the state of CA if elected as Governor?

DrDave-->banning safe and effective products from the market is always crazy; additionally, in this particular context, we have an epidemic of lung cancer and anything that reduces the risk for people is beneficial to all of us so I do not support banning this safe and effective product in California or anywhere else. Having cared for patients with lung cancer and other severe conditions related to traditional cigarettes, this is an area where I believe I am better informed and better able to support rational policy.

DrDave-->thanks for the reference and links - I am familiar with the product in general terms and know Dr Baron as well.
