American Association of Public Health Physicians sent the petitions to FDA on being on behalf of electronic cigarette.

Joel L. Nitzkin, MD, MPH, DPA, Chair, Tobacco Control Task Force, American Association of Public Health Physicians (AAPHP) has created two petitions and sent them to the FDA. The first argues that the FDA should classify the electronic cigarette as a reduced harm tobacco product and abandon the idea that it is a new drug. Dr. Nitzkin and the AAPHP make many arguments as to why the e-cigarette as a reduced harm tobacco product is in the best interest of public health.
