Interview with Brad Rodu on Tobacco Harm Reduction

[Stubby]

An excellent interview with one of the founders of the idea of tobacco harm reduction. In a rational world he would win a Nobel Peace prize.

Did he say anything about how Switch and Quit Owensboro is doing?

Just finished watching it, but don't recall anything specific to Owensboro. This seems to be an interview around North Dakota's resolution to study THR (http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...rth-dakota-resolution-study-thr-policies.html)

Well done presentation. Too bad the interviewer and the legislator are such dweebs. Rep. Fair (as in fair and balanced, but not so much) and the interviewer just couldn't accept that research money came from the tobacco industry. Don't they realize where the research money comes from for the anti-tobacco research?

These days the only legitimate research on tobacco comes with funding from tobacco companies. Nearly everything else is agenda driven junk science.

The argument that any research into an area by the party that will benefit from the research is tainted, has always baffled me. Any significant and meaningful research is going to cost $100Ks if not millions. Who is going to spend that kind of money, other than those it will benefit?!?
Has there been falsified or misrepresented results in numerous areas of research? Absolutely, but everyone going into a bank isn't a bank robber; so everyone doing research isn't unethical.
